| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Ceres, draped and enthroned, seated to the left upon a high-backed chair or throne. In her extended right hand she holds a corn-ear and poppy, emblems of her dominion over grain and fertility, while her left hand grasps a caduceus, symbolising peace and prosperity. The senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanks the central figure in the field, and the legend CERES AVGVSTA arcs across the upper periphery, associating the empress or the imperial household with the divine patroness of agriculture. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Galba's reign lasted just seven months, from June 68 to January 69 AD, and his bronze coinage reflects the administrative scramble of a man who seized power at 70 years old and never fully consolidated it. The Ceres type was a deliberate appeal to grain supply and popular welfare — precisely the promises Galba failed to keep, as his notorious fiscal austerity, including refusal to pay the donatives pledged to the Rhine legions, directly precipitated the revolt that ended with his murder near the Lacus Curtius.
