Emperor Galba on Horseback, Plate VII from 'The First Twelve Roman Caesars'
Etching and Engraving, circa 1610 - 1650.
Titled 'SERGIVUS GALBA AVG', and numbered VII in the bottom left of the plate.
Within a gilt and watercolour line washed mount and gilt frame.
Image size 30cm x 22.5cm. Including frame 43cm x 35cm.
