520 After Nero's notorious reign, the Romans surely deserved a
period of peace and tranquility. Instead, during AD69,
three emperors were murdered: Galba, just days into the
post, Otho and Vitellius. The same year also saw civil war
in Italy, two desperate battles at Cremona and the capture
of Rome for Vespasian, which action saw the fourth emperor
of the year, but also brought peace. This classic work,
now updated and reissued under a new title, is a gripping
account of this tumultuous year. Wellesley also focuses on
the year's historical importance, which also marked the
watershed between the first and second imperial dynasties
