Listen Later

In the year 69AD, the Roman Empire was torn apart by a devastating civil war. Following the death of Emperor Nero, a power vacuum emerged, leading to the rapid and violent rise and fall of four different emperors: Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and the eventual victor, Vespasian.

This episode explores that tumultuous year, a conflict that revealed the true power of the legions and forever changed how a Roman emperor was made.
