    Since VINDEX started the Civil War, I believed he was the starting guy who kicked off the Victory on Globe reverse series...

    VINDEX

    upload_2021-7-31_15-46-53.png
    Roman Principate
    Civil War
    VINDEX 68-69 CE
    AR Denarius 3.22g
    Gallic mint
    SALVS GENERIS HVMANI Victory l globe -
    SPQR in wreath RIC 72 BMCRE 34-36 RSC 420
    RARE
    Comments: Vindex, in Gaul, revolted against Nero, but had no legions. He asked Galba, in Spain, to help and Vindex quickly raised a large army. However, the commander on the Rhine attacked and defeated Vindex, leaving Galba to contest for the empire.
    There are several rare types minted during this period that do not name anyone. This one has a big "SPQR" in a wreath and SALVS GENERIS HVMANI, Victory advancing left.
    RIC I Civil Wars 72
    Struck between early March 68 (when he revolted) and May 68 (when he was killed)

    I feel like we have managed to hit almost all of Roman Imperial history in the span of only 2 pages.
    How many/who are we missing at this point?
