Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
The coin , the As - Galba (IMP T VESP AVG REST S C) (80-81) from Rome › Roman Empire (27 BC - 395 AD) made of Bronze, features an image of the Roman emperor Galba on one side and a depiction of the Roman goddess Victory on the other. This coin was minted during Galba's reign, which lasted from 68 to 69 AD, and it was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the Roman Empire. It's interesting to note that Galba was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to restore order to the empire after a period of turmoil. He was also known for his strict fiscal policies, which earned him the nickname "the bull" due to his tendency to "stamp out" excessive spending. The image of Victory on the coin may have been a nod to Galba's military successes and his efforts to restore peace and prosperity to the empire.
