<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 1526923, member: 39084&quot;]I&#039;ve recently added another bronze to my collection.&nbsp; I have been looking for a Galba as for some time, having missed an opportunity to acquire a good one about a year ago.&nbsp; Since there haven&#039;t been any candidates recently, I decided to accept a dupondius as a representative for a &quot;small bronze&quot; in place of an as:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]200265.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>GALBA&nbsp; 68 - 69 A.D.</p><p>AE Dupondius (13.55 g.)&nbsp; Rome&nbsp; 68 AD</p><p>IMP SER SVLP GALBA - CAESAR AVG TR P&nbsp; Laureate and draped bust r.&nbsp; Rev. PAX AVGVSTA&nbsp; Pax standing left, holding olive branch and caduceus; S - C in field</p><p>RIC 320 </p><p><br /></p><p>The portrait style on this coin seems pretty good and compares favorably with the few other small bronzes of Galba that I&#039;ve I&#039;ve run across in the last year or so.&nbsp; The only thing I&#039;m not sure of is whether Galba is adorned with a laurel wreath (which would make it RIC 320) or an oak wreath (which would make it RIC 321).&nbsp; I think it&#039;s a laurel wreath, correct?&nbsp; The seller had this coin incorrectly attributed as RIC 247, which is completely wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
