Möglicherweise wird hier der Seesieg gefeiert, den Vespasians Truppen während des jüdischen Krieges auf dem See Genezareth erringen konnten (Flavius Josephus, Jüdischer Krieg III, X, 9).
This coin may celebrate the victory of the Flavians over Judaeans in the sea of Galillee during their capture of Judaea in the First Revolt. The legend "Victoria Navalis" probably commemorate Vespasian' pursuit of the Jews at Tarichæa on rafts, and the same circumstance doubtless explains why Titus brought a large number of ships with him when he entered Rome in triumph.
