<p>[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 3513751, member: 74968"]Nice one Jay. I need to trace down one of these Diva Avgvsta reverses. According to Suetonius, Galba and Livia had a special relationship. So much so that Livia put Galba in her will. The other interesting thing about the Galba Livia relationship is the propaganda value of having a reference to Livia on his coins. Galba would have wanted to strengthen the legitimacy of his rule by hearkening back to the foundations of the empire and emphasizing continuity after the disastrous rule of Nero . You cannot get much more foundational than referring to the wife of Augustus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
