Roman Emperor Galba 68-69AD Born 24 December 3 BC in Tarracina, a town on the Appian Way 65 miles south of Rome, Servius Galba was the son of C. Sulpicius Galba and Mummia Achaica Galba's. Connections with the noble house of the Servii gave him great prestige and assured his acceptance among the highest levels of Julio-Claudian society. Livia, the mother of the emperor Tiberius, adopted him in his youth. Upon her death, Livia made Galba her chief legatee, bequeathing him some 50 million sesterces. Tiberius, Livia's heir, reduced the amount and never paid it to Galba. Galba's marriage proved to be a further source of disappointment, as he outlived both his wife Lepida and their two sons. Nothing else is known of Galba's immediate family, other than that he remained a widower for the rest of his life.

 The roman ring key and lock pin displayed in this frame is made from bronze and dated 100- 300 AD, Many Romans kept their keys on their fingers, as their clothing did not have pockets. Locks and keys developed during roman times were a result of need for greater security. In some cases up to ten locks were fitted to a door. Being a locksmith during ancient times was a very prestigious occupation. 

 Arrowheads Most arrowheads are very hard to categorize. Roman battlefields would have been littered with weapons from the roman armies, their allies and their enemies. Most of what is found today is a mixture of Roman era, Dark Ages & Middle Ages from BC to about 1600 AD Today; most of the ancient iron arrowheads are coming from Eastern Europe.

The belt buckle you have purchased is dated around the 3rd century.
