This 3D reconstruction of a “Judaea Capta” coin brings to life one of the most famous issues of the Roman Empire, struck to celebrate the suppression of the First Jewish Revolt and the fall of Jerusalem in 70 CE. On these coins, Rome proclaims its victory: the emperor stands triumphant or sits on a trophy, while a mourning Judean woman sits or kneels beneath a palm tree, symbolizing the conquered province of Judaea.
The model reproduces the obverse portrait of the Roman emperor Vespasian and the reverse “IVDAEA CAPTA” legend with the palm tree and captive figure, following museum references for style and proportions. Relief depth, lettering, and wear have been carefully balanced to keep a historically authentic look while remaining printable on modern resin printers.
Dimensions of the 3D model:
- Diameter: ~20–22 mm (typical for a silver denarius / AR coin).
- Thickness: ~2.5–3 mm at the rim.
- Relief height: 0.5–0.7mm for legends and figures, optimized for both 3D printing and casting.
Perfect for historical collections, teaching, numismatic displays, or jewelry projects, this digital coin lets you explore the story of Rome and Judaea at the end of the Temple period in a tactile, visual way.
