Description *** Be sure to check CNG's website for recent additions to our inventory *** [Image] Vitellius. 69 AD. AR Denarius (2.92 gm). A VITELLIVS GERM IMP AVG TR P, laureate head right / PONT [MAXI]M, Vesta, veiled, seated right on throne, holding patera and sceptre. RIC I 107; BMCRE 34; RSC 72. Fine. 718113 On January 2, 69 AD, Aulus Vitellius, commander of the legions in lower Germany, was proclaimed emperor by his troops. Two weeks later, Galba was killed in the streets of Rome and Otho was proclaimed emperor by the Senate. Vitellius’ forces set out against Otho and routed his forces near Cremona, Otho taking his own life shortly thereafter. On April 19 Vitellius was confirmed by the senate as the new emperor. Vitellius’ position in peace did not last long, by the middle of July all the eastern armies had set up a rival emperor, Vespasian, and the Civil wars continued. Vitellius attempted to abdicate in order to save his life and the lives of his family, but his supporters would not allow it. On December 20, the Flavian army had fought its way into Rome. Vitellius was found hiding in dirty clothing in the door-keepers lodge at the palace. He was dragged from his hiding place and killed, his body being thrown into the Tiber.
