Galba was Roman emperor from June 68 to January 69 CE. With the death of Emperor Nero on June 9, 68 CE, the Julio-Claudian dynasty officially ended, leaving the Roman Empire without a clear successor to the throne. With the assistance of the army, Galba, governor-general of Spain, quickly rose to fill the void. * * * _This is a companion discussion topic for the original definition at [https://www.worldhistory.org/Galba/](https://www.worldhistory.org/Galba/)._ * * * **Join the Conversation** - What did you think about this definition? - What would you like to know more about? - If you've studied this topic, what would you add for other readers?
