Found Roding's, Essex, UK. Accompanied by a descriptive ticket.
Gaius Julius Vindex was governor of Gallia Lugdunensis when he revolted against Nero and sought support from other governors, of whom only Servius Suplicius Galba in Spain responded; it is likely that these coins, which were anonymous issues, were struck at Vienna (modern Vienne) in Narbonensis; the rebellion was defeated by L. Verginius Rufus, governor of Upper Germany; a few weeks later Nero committed suicide and Galba was recognised as emperor by the senate. -
