The wild boar is depicted on the reverse of this coin. The wild boar was synonymous with strength, warrior spirit and humility. There were three Roman legions that used the wild boar as their symbol. The first legion, Legio XX Valeria Victrix, was established in 31 BC by the emperor Augustus. Augustus used a flying boar for the legion’s symbol. The second was in 41 AD in Judaea and called Legio X Fretensis (“legion of the seas straits”). The boar was used as an emblem to humiliate the Jewish people. The boar is a wild pig and this animal was considered verboten for the Jews based on their strict dietary restrictions. Pigs were not consumed (and continue so under the current dietary laws) by Jews mainly due to the high rate of trichinosis, a parasitic infection that affects animals ranging from bears, cougars, walruses, foxes, wild boars and domestic pigs. The last legion, Legio I Italica, was formed in 67 AD by the emperor Nero.
