            Vitellius. (69 AD). Billon tetradrachm (13.94 gm). Alexandria. ÙËOY 
            OYIT KAIÓ ÓEB [ÃEPM AYT], head laureate right / Nike advancing left, 
            holding wreath and palm, date LA in left field. Cologne 260 (same

            news of his victory over Otho at Bedriacum on 16 April 69 until 
            Vespasian's proclamation as emperor at Alexandria on 1 July 69. RPC
