Vitellius

In the Rhine, during the reign of Galba, the legions revolt and pronounce their own emperor, Vitellius. Galba announces Piso as his successor.

Otho bribes some disgruntled Praetorian guards, who kill both Galba and Piso.

When the Rhine legions hear of Galba's death and Otho's ascension, they decide to march on Rome. Otho responds with his own army, but is defeated and commits suicide. Vitellius assumes the throne. Meanwhile, in the east, General Vespasian is busy crushing a Jewish revolt and suddenly feels he needs a throne. Vespasian sends an army to Rome, leaving his son Titus to crush the revolt. Vespasian's forces defeat Vitellius and Vitellius tries to run away, but is captured and killed.
