| Beschrijving keerzijde | Roma personified, helmeted and clad in military dress, standing left in a commanding pose. In her extended right hand she holds a small Victory mounted upon a globe, while her left hand grasps an eagle-tipped sceptre, emblems of Roman dominion over the known world. The composition conveys a powerful propagandistic message of imperial renewal and restoration, consistent with Galba's short-lived bid to legitimise his rule following the fall of Nero. The reverse legend frames the field above, with no exergual inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Galba's reign lasted seven months. The ROMA RENASCENS type — "Rome reborn" — was struck as deliberate propaganda following Nero's suicide, positioning Galba as restorer rather than usurper. It didn't work. The Praetorian Guard, never paid the donative Galba had promised, switched allegiance to Otho on January 15, 69 AD, and Galba was murdered in the Forum.
RIC I 203 is scarce by any measure, a product of mints operating under urgent political pressure during the Year of the Four Emperors. Die studies by Giard suggest limited production runs across this entire series.
