During the disturbances that led to the death of Nero, Galba was declared emperor by his troops. Having won the favor of the Senate he proceeded to Rome and accepted the purple. His strict discipline, however, made him unpopular with the military and the legions of Lower Germany declared Vitellius their emperor on 2 January AD 69. Meanwhile, in Rome, Otho conspired against him and Galba was assassinated on 15 January 69.

Vitellius was declared emperor on 2 January of AD 69 by his troops and defeated the army of Otho in northern Italy. He was also a voracious glutton and paid little attention to the matters of state. The troops sent to confront the Danubian legions that had declared for Vespasian were defeated and Vitellius was later found in his palace and murdered. They then dragged his body through the streets of Rome and dumped it into the Tiber River.

ROMAN SPECIAL 1 Silver Coins of the Roman Empire. I have recently acquired a group of silver coins from the glory
days of the Roman Empire. Most of these date to the 1st through early 3rd Centuries AD. Most of the earlier ones grade Fine to about Very Fine range while later ones are generally Very Fine. Most are denarii but I do have a few nice antoniniani. These are nicer than the previous batches and will go fast,
so order soon. While they last....$50; 2 different for $90

ROMAN SPECIAL 2 Late Roman Bronzes, ca AD260-400+. Coins of the later Roman emperors from Gallienus to Arcadius and Honorius and beyond, mostly Antoniniani, AE3 and AE4 size, but including an occassional centenionalis or follis now and then and grading FINE or better (no spectacular blazers or gems, just solid mid-grade coins). Great for beginning collectors with a small budget or for the younger ones who want to get as much variety as possible for their limited dollars. Also good for the dealer who wants to carry a few inexpensive coins. These are attributed as to ruler and reverse type and packaged in individual flips. I offer these while I can in lots of:
3 different....$15 ($5 each)
10 different....$50 ($5 each)
