    Thank you. The crying jewess on the reverse commemorated the victory of the romans in the first jewish war and the destruction of the temple.

    Except the romans are gone but the jews are still in their land..

    Wonderful!!!

    They'd look terrific together in a multi holder although what a sight they must be side by side as is.

    Isn't this the second "you suck" I've given you in the past month or so for making me green with envy?

    I seem to recall you posting a huge piece of Elizabethan hammered gold somewhere, too?

    Wow. But a Judaea Capta aureus really knocks my sox off.

    Yep! That's the one. (Edit to add- my memory had conflated it into a much larger piece. But it's still amazing, for the grade, and just ... because.)

    Where's the "envy" emoticon? There doesn't seem to be one...

    Man, bidask, if you are only going to own two ancient coins, those are two wonderful pieces to pick.
