| Beschrijving keerzijde | Jupiter Capitolinus seated facing left upon an ornate throne set within a tetrastyle temple front, its pediment decorated with acroteria and an ornamental finial at the apex. The enthroned deity raises his right hand in a gesture of benediction or offering and holds a sceptre in his left hand. The architectural frame is rendered with fluted columns and a decorated entablature, evoking the Capitoline temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus. The encircling legend IO MAX CAPITOLINVS appears in Latin capitals around the temple scene. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in the chaos following Nero's suicide in June 68 AD, this issue belongs to the catastrophic Year of the Four Emperors. Galba, attempting to project legitimacy through Capitoline Jupiter — Rome's supreme state deity — issued coins invoking the god's protection at precisely the moment the principate was collapsing around him. The appeal was not enough. He was murdered in the Forum on January 15, 69 AD, his head carried through the streets on a pole.
RIC I#42 is attributed to an uncertain mint, possibly Rome or a traveling military mint accompanying Galba's forces during his march from Spain.
