Jewish Reference Coinage, Vespasian. Gold Aureus (7.16 g), AD 69-79. Judaea Capta type. Rome, AD 69/70. IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG, laureate head of Vespasian right. Rev. IVDAEA in exergue, Jewess seated right, head resting on hand in attitude of mourning; behind, trophy. Hendin 1464; RIC 1; BN 20-2; BMC 31-4; Calicó 643. Quite pleasing and problem free. The surfaces and devices are quite appealing. About Very Fine. From the S. Moussaieff Collection, This lot has been officially exported from Israel through the Israel Antiquities Authority. First coin of the standard 'Judaea Capta' series. In the 'Judaea Capta' coinage, the seated personified Judaea evokes the iconographic language of the defeated and degraded prisoner. The conquered province type has its own set of gestures expressing a mournful or abject context, which are derived from Roman funerary iconography. They include an attitude formed by the resting of the chin in the hand, a pose that evokes pensiveness, uncertainty, and grief with overtones of repentance or lamentation. Additionally, the mourner is shown with hunched shoulders, and a bowed and covered head. The depiction of the personified province recollects the Biblical description of the besieged Jerusalem by the prophet Isaiah (ca. 700 BCE): "For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen… Thy men shall fall by the sword and thy mighty in the war. And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she, being desolate, shall sit upon the ground" (Isaiah 3:8-9; 25-26).The imposing military trophy standing to the left of the picture looms over the back of the vanquished Judaea, taunting the humiliated figure, re-enforcing the fact that the weapons used to resist Rome are now spoils to the victors; they no longer hold power.
Vespasian. Gold Aureus (6.98 g), AD 69-79. Judaea Capta type. Lugdunum, AD 72. MP CAES VESPAS AVG P M TR P IIII P P COS IIII, laureate head of Vespasian right. Rev. DE IVDAEIS, trophy. Cf. Hendin 1472; RIC 1179; BN 305; BMC 402; Calicó 627c. Very Rare. Fine. From the S. Moussaieff Collection, This lot has been officially exported from Israel through the Israel Antiquities Authority. This gold aureus belongs to the vast coin series struck to celebrate the victory of Vespasian (and his son Titus) in the First Jewish Revolt, a bloody conflict that rocked the eastern territories of the Roman Empire between AD 66 and 73. Although the last pocket of Jewish rebels was only defeated at the desert fortress of Masada in AD 73, the major fighting was over and Titus had captured the Judaean capital at Jerusalem in AD 70. The Holy City was besieged for seven terrible months, during which the defenders were decimated by starvation, disease, and factional conflict among the rebel leadership. At last, Roman forces stormed Jerusalem, slaughtering and enslaving the defenders and plundering the sacred wealth of the Second Temple. Slaves and treasure were carried off to Rome by Titus in AD 71 to adorn the great triumph that he was to celebrate along with his father. This procession, in which a variety of Temple instruments, including a menorah, were carried before the Roman people is immortalized in a famous frieze from the Arch of Titus in Rome. The trophy type on the reverse of the present coin, with the simple statement, DE IVDAEIS ("From the Judaeans") serves as shorthand for the vast booty that was taken from Jerusalem and especially from the Temple. The historian Josephus reports that the quantities of gold, ivory, jewelry, and purple cloth in Vespasian's triumph that the procession resembled "a running river of wealth." The emperor subsequently tapped this river to cover the expenses of a grand new project to reshape Rome itself. He ordered an artificial lake belonging to the palace complex of the dead and disgraced Nero to be drained and used as the foundation for an enormous amphitheater. This amphitheater was to be used for the display of the gladiator shows and wild beast hunts that were such popular entertainments for the Roman public. It was officially described as the Flavian Amphitheater, but came to be known as the Colosseum after its location near a colossal statue of Nero in the guise of the sun god. This aureus and other gold coins produced in the context of Vespasian's triumph very well may have been struck from the gold objects carried off from conquered Judaea. And some were struck in order to pay for the construction of the Colosseum, which in its own somewhat sinister way was also DE IVDAEIS.
