| Additional information |
Galba's reign lasted just seven months, from June 68 to January 69 AD, making his coinage among the most compressed in the Julio-Claudian succession crisis. He came to power after Nero's suicide triggered a cascade of competing claims, and his mints — operating across Spain, Gaul, and eventually Rome — struck prolifically to assert legitimacy and pay troops. RIC I 60 is attributed to the Rome mint, placing it in the final, chaotic phase of his rule before the Praetorian Guard murdered him in the Forum on January 15, 69 AD.
