The uprising of Vindex in Gaul that sparked the civil war of 68 to 69 was important, but doomed to failure; the soldiers he had gathered were no match for the legions being sent from Germany to confront them. Even that did not prevent Galba from offering his support to Vindex, after which he was hailed imperator at Carthago Nova on April 2, 68. Soon enough he learned of Vindexs defeat and left Hispania Tarraconensis to lead his legions on the long march to Rome. Fortunately for Galba, no battle was necessary since Nero committed suicide while he and his soldiers were still en route, and the capital lay open to receive him as emperor when he arrived.
Neros death represented the end of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and Galba took the helm at a critical moment, for he was not only the first emperor who was not a member of the ruling house, but his revolt had shown the senate that emperors easily could be made in the provinces – a lesson that would be learned time and again during the next few centuries.

Certainly one of Galbas most elegant coin types, this aureus celebrates Spain, the land he had governed at the time of his insurrection against Nero. Hispania, the personification of Spain, is here shown as a woman of dual virtue: fertility of the land, and prowess in war. In some later representations she is accompanied by a rabbit – a symbol of the region. Both Stabo and Pliny wrote that rabbits were so plentiful in Spain that occasionally entire towns had to be moved because their communities were overrun and, on at least one occasion, a citys foundation had been dangerously undermined by burrows.
