| Reverse description | The personification of Virtus (military virtue and valor) stands erect facing left in the field, depicted as a helmeted female figure clad in military dress, holding a parazonium (short sword) in her right hand and a spear in her left. Her pose is upright and commanding, conveying martial strength. The legend VIRTVS is inscribed horizontally across the lower field, flanking the figure on either side. This reverse type was prominently used by Galba to legitimize his reign through association with Roman military virtues. |
