Otho

A man named Otho receives a prophecy that he will become emperor, so he spends large sums of money to flatter Galba and other Roman officials. Meanwhile, in the Rhine, 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.
