View show details

In AD 69, the Roman Empire was shattered by civil war as four emperors — Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian — rose and fell in a single chaotic year. Lucas and Luna explore the power vacuum left by Nero's death, the praetorian guard's role in emperor-making, the brutal battles that reshaped Rome, and how the Flavian dynasty emerged from the wreckage. They discuss the Batavian revolt, the sack of Cremona, and the lessons Roman leaders learned about legitimacy and survival. This episode offers a vivid dive into the moment the empire nearly tore itself apart. #YearOfFourEmperors #Galba #Otho #Vitellius #Vespasian #BatavianRevolt #PraetorianGuard #RomanCivilWar #Nero #FlavianDynasty #Cremona #FirstBattleOfBedriacum #SecondBattleOfBedriacum #AD69 #RomanEmpire #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
