My Top 20: Coin No.16: Vespasian

The JUDAEA CAPTA series
1. When Vespasian was recalled to Rome to become Emperor he left behind his sons Titus & Domitian. It was Titus who sacked Jerusalem
2. The most evocative series of Roman Coins

70 AD Jerusalem besieged and taken by Titus

73 AD Masada falls to Roman General Silva
