Ex Harry N. Sneh Collection. Ex CNG E168, 11 July 2007, lot 233.
This coin illustrated in Hendin's fifth edition, pl. 51, 1583a. Very rare with portrait left: in 1907 Gnecchi reported a specimen in Budapest, and RIC 31 now cites two further examples in ANS and in Baldwin/M&M III of 2000. This reverse type is often thought to commemorate the Roman victory in Judaea ("Judaea Capta"), but see note to lot 653 above.
