Summary
The end of Julio-Claudian rule, marked by the violent death of Nero and followed by a year of turmoil and civil war, was uncommonly like its turbulent beginning. In a little over a year, four emperors ascended to the throne, mainly through overt military support. Three of the contenders – Galba, Otho, and Vitellus – ruled only a matter of months before they were dethroned and murdered by legions favoring their own leader for the top job. The fourth, Vespasian, the commander of the army in Palestine, was proclaimed emperor by his troops in 69 ce. At the age of sixty, a seasoned and popular soldier, he was able to bring order and normalcy after a period of struggle, and gained the support of the Senate, the army, and the people. Followed by his two sons, Titus and Domitian, Vespasian established the Flavian dynasty that ruled Rome and her expanding empire until 96 ce, a little over one-quarter of a century.
