| Reverse description | The personification of Concordia depicted standing, draped, and facing left in a dignified, classical contrapposto pose. In her extended right hand she holds a patera or ears of corn and a poppy, symbols of abundance and fertility associated with the provinces, while her left hand cradles a cornucopia overflowing with fruits, emblematic of prosperity and imperial harmony. The composition conveys the political message of unity and goodwill among the Roman provinces under Galba's brief reign. The reverse legend CONCORDIA PROVINCIARVM encircles the field, proclaiming the harmony of the provinces, a theme central to Galba's legitimising propaganda. |
