                                Description

     AE Sestertius of Galba, October 68AD. Mint of Rome. Obv:
     SER.GALBA.IMP.CAESAR.AVG.TR.P. His laureate bust right. Rev:
     CONCORD.AVG.S.C. Concordia holding an olive branch seated left on
     low-backed chair. 25.37 grams. RIC 380, not listed in Sear.

     Attractive VF with excellent portrait of Galba and good natural
     orichalchum patina. (Violet highlights are artifacts of the
     scan.) Buyer has 7-day return privilege less costs.

     A desirable large bronze of this emperor whose reign was only 9
     months long (April 68- January 69). The realistic portrait bust
     is superbly executed in the best style of the Roman mint which
     had been brought to a high point of artistic excellence during
     the reign of Nero. The choice of reverse type “Concord” reflects
     Galba’s attempt to conciliate and rally public opinion in his
     favor during the upheavals of the Civil War.

     Checks or money orders only. $4.50 insured shipping in the USA,
     $9.00 registered mail to foreign addresses. Please take a look at
     my other fine ancient coins on ebay this week. Thanks for your
     bids!
