Nice ones again Steve, the Galba is a rare find, would be best to find out whether it is one of the more common varieties, 69 ad was a bad year for being an emperor, three of them didn't last the year out!!

No 14 looks like Trajan again.

Hi Steve (again) , this will tell you about the rest of the information on the coin and if you translate it will tell you the actual year that the coin was produced or thereabouts! They are worth the interpretation when cataloguing them .
