09.5 Civil Wars RIC I 121
Civil Wars. 69 A.D. AR Denarius.  Southern Gaul mint. 69 A.D. (2.97g, 18.5mm, 6h).  Obv: FIDES, above EXERCITVVM, below clasped hands.  Rev: FIDES, above,PRAETORIANORVM, blow, Clasped r. hands.  RIC I 121; RCV 2048.   

This is thought to be an issue by pro Vitellian forces in southern Gaul for the purpose of influencing Otho’s Praetorians in the capital. In March 69 AD, Vitellian commander Fabius Valens entered Italy from Southern Gaul at the head of a small band to sway the loyalty of Otho’s forces, and this type of coin would have been “bribe” money for that purpose.
