Roman Egyptian Billon Tetradrachm - Galba

Item Details

Description

Romano-Egyptian, Galba, ca. 68 to 69 CE. Billon tetradrachm. (13.2 g). Minted in Egypt, Alexandria. LA = 1 year, 68 CE. Obverse: Bust of Emperor right. Reverse: EIPHNH, veiled bust of Eirene (Pax) right, caduceus over shoulder. Köln 219; Milne 309; RPC 5328; Geissen 219; Dattari 302. Size: .85" W (2.2 cm)

After the death of Nero in 68 CE, the last of the Julio-Claudians was gone, and the Roman Empire faced a power vacuum. Galba, a governor of one of the Spanish provinces, was advancing on Rome, and news that the Senate and Praetorian Guard supported him caused Nero to take his own life. However, Galba squandered his advantage, moving slowly to reach the capital and offending his supporters. Roman political intrigue moved fast, and within a year, everyone from the legions to Nero's ex-brother-in-law had turned on him. In 69 CE, the Praetorian Guard assassinated Galba in the Forum.
