Reverse description A standing female figure, identified as Roma or Victory, depicted facing left in military attire consisting of a short tunic and crested helmet, holding a small Victory figurine aloft in her extended right hand and a long vertical spear or scepter in her left hand. The figure stands on a ground line within a beaded border. The legend ROMA RENASCES is arranged around the periphery in two arcs, divided by the central figure, referring to the 'rebirth of Rome' under Galba's reign. The reverse type conveys a strong propagandistic message of renewal and restoration following the fall of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
