Description
March-May 68 A.D. Mint in Narbonensis(?). Obv: SALVS GENERIS HVMANI legend with Victory standing left on globe holding wreath and palm. Rev: S P Q R within wreath. RIC 72; BMC 34; RSC Civil War (Galba) 420; Sear 2062. See UKDFD website, reference 50448 (this coin). 3.14 grams. Found Roding's, Essex, UK. Accompanied by a descriptive ticket. Gaius Julius Vindex was governor of Gallia Lugdunensis when he revolted against Nero and sought support from other governors, of whom only Servius Suplicius Galba in Spain responded; it is likely that these coins, which were anonymous issues, were struck at Vienna (modern Vienne) in Narbonensis; the rebellion was defeated by L. Verginius Rufus, governor of Upper Germany; a few weeks later Nero committed suicide and Galba was recognised as emperor by the senate. [No Reserve]
