Note:This coin was issued during the reign of Domitian, in collaboration with Agripa II, a client king of Judea appointed by the Roman authorities. The collaboration between Agripa II and Domitian reflects the complex political landscape of the region, where Roman authority was intertwined with local rulers. It serves as a testament to the political and military power of Rome in the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as the influence of local rulers like Agripa II in maintaining stability. Domitian, known for his autocratic rule and military campaigns, is depicted with a laureate crown symbolizing victory and authority, while Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, stands to the right. Her presence reinforces the emperor’s military achievements and divine protection, with her foot set on a helmet symbolizing Rome’s triumph in battle. The shield she holds represents the protection of the Roman Empire. Additionally, a crescent below a wing may symbolize the moon or the passage of time, further emphasizing Nike’s association with victory into the future.
