Summary

Plutarch's Lives of Galba and Otho constitute the earliest surviving history of the shocking events that shook the Roman Empire in AD 68 and 69 ' the rebellions against Nero, his betrayal and suicide, and Galba's disastrous reign, which ended in his murder. No other source preserves such a coherent account of the extraordinary events of 68, and for 69 Plutarch's Lives are comparable with Tacitus' Histories. As well as including a translation, this useful companion explains the background, and provides a commentary that makes serious use of the numismatic evidence.
