| Reverse description | Central field depicts a legionary aquila — an eagle perched left atop a thunderbolt — flanked symmetrically by two military standards, all three elements mounted on a low horizontal bar or podium, rendered in bold relief characteristic of Roman senatorial bronze coinage. The large senatorial authority marks S and C (Senatus Consultum) are prominently displayed in the lower field on either side of the central standard, attesting to the authority of the Roman Senate over the bronze coinage. The composition is austere and militaristic, reflecting Galba's emphasis on legionary loyalty during his brief reign. The imagery directly references the military support that elevated Galba to power. No additional legend surrounds the design. |
