| Obverse lettering | SER SVLPI GALBA IMP CAESAR AVG P M TR P (Translation: Servius Sulpicius Galba Imperator Caesar Augustus, Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestas — Servius Sulpicius Galba, supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, emperor (Augustus), high priest, tribunician power.) |
| Reverse description | The adlocutio scene depicts Galba standing left on a raised tribunal platform, in military dress, addressing three soldiers standing before him; behind Galba stand two additional figures, likely officers or attendants. To the right, two armed praetorian soldiers stand at ease, one holding a large oval shield, the other a spear, with a military standard (signum) visible in the background. The composition is crowded and energetic, conveying the ceremonial address of the emperor to his troops. In the exergue, the legend ADLOCVTIO appears on the first line and S C (Senatus Consultum) on the second, within a plain linear border. |
