| Obverse lettering | SER GALBA IMP AVGVSTVS (Translation: Servius Galba Imperator Augustus Servio Galba, supreme commander (Imperator) and emperor (Augustus).) |
| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a monumental arch or tribunal seen in three-quarter perspective, surmounted by an equestrian group in high relief, likely representing a triumphal quadriga or mounted victory figure. To the left, two togated or military figures approach the structure, while a smaller figure stands within the archway, possibly symbolising the citizen freed from fiscal burden. The legend QVADRAGENSVMAE REMISSAE runs along the upper periphery, and S C (Senatus Consulto) appears in the lower field, confirming senatorial authority for the issue. The composition commemorates Galba's celebrated abolition of the Quadragesima Litium, the oppressive litigation tax introduced under Caligula, presented here as a monumental act of liberality. |
