Obverse of a Roman sestertius: Bust of Galba, laureate and draped, right.
Reverse of a Roman sestertius: Honos, bare to waist, standing right, holding sceptre in right hand and cornucopiae in left, facing Virtus, helmeted, in military dress, standing left, holding parazonium in right hand and spear in left, resting right foot on boar's head.
Ancient Coin of the Day: I’ve been drawn back to Galba, with a look at some of his bronze coin issues, starting with this sestertius of late AD 68 with Honos and Virtus. #ACOTD #Numismatics #Galba 🧵🏺
