Roman Coins Boast “Judaea Capta”
by Robert Deutsch. Biblical Archaeology Review, Jan/Feb 2010, pp. 51-53
Despite Judea’s minute size within the empire, suppression of the Great Jewish Revolt of 66–70 C.E. required a massive Roman military force and generated the largest number of commemorative victory coins. But the Roman mint does not alone account for the large number of Judea Capta coins. The Jews had dared to mint their own.

Publications
Because inscriptions preserve historical information explicitly, they are the most important type of archaeological find. And the real value of an epigraphical find is arguably not the item itself but its publication.
I write and publish books exploring inscriptions from Biblical times.
