GERMANICVS Posted May 14 · Member Share Posted May 14 (edited) Throughout the time during which I actively collected Roman Imperial coin I focused primarily on bronzes of the 1st and 2nd. century, and was particularly attracted by the coinage of Vitellius, Galba, and Otho. This is an as of Galba I found in Spain. It seems to be a fairly scarce issue for which I only found one image in the internet. No record in acsearch. Here is the coin. GALBA. 68-69 AD. Æ As (12.66 gm). Rome mint. Struck December 68-15 January 69 AD. Obv: Bare-headed bust right Rev: Salus standing right, leaning on column, feeding serpent from patera. RIC I 501. The coin is very heavily patinated, but most details are recognisable. I would like to ask if anybody can share more information and images if possible. Thanks¡ Edited May 14 by GERMANICVS Attribution corrected 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
