FDC, Very rare. Exceptional.
This magnificent and extremely rare denarius is from a small group of coins struck in Gaul after Galba's salutation as imperator on 2 April AD 68. As later issues from the same mint have his title augustus and follow the development of his titulature in Rome, it is likely that this particular coin is from an issue prior to his official assumption of the title in mid-June AD 68.

Ex NAC sale 9, 1996, 830. Two of Galba's coins that clearly communicate his desire to repair Rome of the moral degradation it had suffered since the death of Augustus are represented with this lot and the one following. With Nero's death representing the end of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, Galba took the helm at a critical moment in history: all of Rome's emperors thus far had been Julio-Claudians, and Galba's principate was a turning point. It was also a turning point because at no other time had an emperor been hailed in the provinces - it had always occurred in Rome or its environs. On the aureus of lot 42 Galba announces Roma Renascens - 'Rome rising again', or 'Rome reborn', and on this aureus he announces Salus Generis Humani, proclaiming he will attend to the welfare of all mankind. However noble Galba's intentions, he was terribly naïve to think that radical reform of moral and social conduct could be achieved in short order, and especially under such chaotic circumstances. He removed incompetent men from their offices and replaced them with more qualified candidates, and was stern - even stingy - with his army. Tacitus reports he did not provide even a "mere token act of generosity" for his soldiers, which assured his downfall only six months into his reign.

Almost more remarkable than Galba’s legacy as an emperor for seven months in 68 and 69 is the life he enjoyed before he claimed the purple. He was among the wealthiest men in the empire, and is said not to have travelled anywhere, not even on a casual afternoon ride, with less than ten thousand gold pieces. Being so wealthy and belonging to a noble family, the Suplicii, it is not surprising that he held many important posts in Rome and in the provinces, and was a personal acquaintance of the Julio-Claudians. Galba began his association with the Julio-Claudians with a pinch on the cheek from Augustus when he was a child, and thereafter he was a personal acquaintance of the emperors from Tiberius to Nero, whom he overthrew in 68. Agrippina Junior was apparently infatuated with him, and he enjoyed especially close friendships with Claudius and Livia. Suetonius tells us Livia made Galba her principal heir, leaving him 500,000 aurei, but that Tiberius nullified her bequest on a technicality, reducing the amount to only 5,000.
