The Denarius - Galba coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Galba, who ruled the Roman Empire from 68 to 69 AD. The coin's design features the goddess Roma on the obverse (front side) and the goddess Victory on the reverse (back side). The coin's inscription, "ROMA RENASCES," means "Rome is reborn" in Latin, which was a reference to the renewal and rebirth of the Roman Empire under Galba's rule. Despite its historical significance, the Denarius - Galba coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors, making it a valuable addition to any numismatic collection.
