Galba, 3 April 68 - 15 January 69 A.D., Koinon of Galatia
|Galba|, |Galba,| |3| |April| |68| |-| |15| |January| |69| |A.D.,| |Koinon| |of| |Galatia|, Luna, the Greek moon-goddess, was female, which seems natural because the female menstrual cycle follows the lunar month. But Mên was a male moon-god, probably originally of the indigenous non-Greek Karian people. By Roman times Mên was worshiped across Anatolia and in Attica. He was associated with fertility, healing, and punishment. Mên is usually depicted with a crescent moon behind his shoulders, wearing a Phrygian cap, and holding a lance or sword in one hand and a pine-cone or patera in the other. His other attributes include the bucranium and chicken. A temple of Mên has been excavated at Antiochia, Pisidia.
