“I’m Aulus Vitellius (/vɪˈtɛliəs/ vih-TELL-ee-əs; Latin: [ˈau̯lʊs wɪˈtɛlːijʊs]; 24 September 15 – 20 December 69). I was Roman emperor for eight months, from 19 April to 20 December AD 69. I became emperor 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. I added the honorific Germanicus to my name instead of Caesar upon my accession. Like my predecessor, Otho, I attempted to rally public support to my cause by honoring and imitating Nero who remained popular in the empire.”
