Abstract:
The aureus of Vespasian with the legend Iudaea recepta on the reverse illustrates Roman formalities for the conclusion of wars. Until now, Iudaea recepta was commonly interpreted either as meaning the recovery of Judaea or as an announcement of a return to the embrace of the [Roman] provincial system. However, Iudaea recepta indicates surrender, and the aureus with the legend Iudaea recepta thus commemorates the Roman acceptance of the unconditional surrender of the Jewish rebels in Jerusalem.
