<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3180301, member: 74968&quot;]I would still care, particularly in the case of Galba. He is an interesting historical figure during a formative time for the empire. Also Suetonius was not the only author of the time. Galba was close to Livia, the wife of Augustus, he was the governor of an important territory, and he was instrumental in a civil war. These facts alone make him interesting enough to collect imho. I collect coins based on the historical figures represented by them. My reading led me to be interested in the coins and this included more than Suetonius.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there are the coins themselves. There is incredible variation among the portraits of Galba particularly for so short a reign. The stylistic differences are interesting and would be collected, I believe, even if Suetonius had not written his book.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
