Isn't this so beautiful?! I'm pretty obsessed with the reverse design of these bronzes from NW Spain (Lugo perhaps?) https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/search/browse?city_id=908 …pic.twitter.com/fipw9h2D6Y

Galba was the legate in Spain before moving against Nero, so it might make sense for his coinage to feature a distinctively Spanish weapon. The solifferreum was pretty distinctive and the shape on the coin, if a bit exaggerated, seems about right?
Oh, I'm a dummy for not reading the text on the coin. Yes, clearly a reference to Spain, LOL! So yeah, my money is that they're a pair of soliferrea, picked for being distinctively 'Spanish' weapons.

lovely and v interesting to have Hispania personified here as war-like by contrast to her personification under Hadrian ... http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2_3(2).hdn.1529-1532 …pic.twitter.com/mmXhxf89ZJ
