RIC 1
Vitellius (69 AD)
Aulus Vitellius Germanicus, born Aulus
Vitellius and commonly known as Vitellius (24 September 15 – 22 December 69),
was a Roman Emperor who reigned from 16 April 69 to 22 December of the same
year. Vitellius acceded to this position following the quick succession of the
previous emperors Galba and Otho, in a year of civil war known as the Year of
the Four Emperors. Vitellius was the first to add the honorific cognomen
Germanicus to his name instead of Caesar upon his accession; the latter name had
fallen into disrepute in many quarters because of the actions of Nero.
His claim to the throne was soon challenged by legions stationed in the Eastern
provinces, who proclaimed their commander Vespasian emperor in his place. War
ensued, leading to a crushing defeat for Vitellius at the Second Battle of
Bedriacum. When he realised his support was wavering, Vitellius prepared to
abdicate in favour of Vespasian, but was executed in Rome by Flavian forces on
December 22 of 69.
