As - Galba VESTA S C, Vesta

Galba's seven-month reign — June 68 to January 69 AD — produced a compressed and chaotic coinage across multiple mints simultaneously scrambling to serve a new emperor. This bronze was struck in Rome, where the mint was still adjusting to its first change of dynasty since Nero. RIC I 376 is among the scarcer Galban aes issues; the political instability that killed Galba before his first full year ended meant production runs were short and often interrupted.

Galba was murdered by the Praetorian Guard on January 15, 69 AD, the opening act of the Year of the Four Emperors.
