	Vitellius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vitellius was the son of Lucius Vitellius, who had been consul and governor of Syria under Tiberius.
		Vitellius the son was consul in 48, and (perhaps in 60-61) proconsul of Africa, in which capacity he is said to have acquitted himself with credit.
		During his brief administration Vitellius showed indications of a desire to govern wisely, but he was completely under the control of Valens and Caecina, who for their own ends encouraged him in a course of vicious excesses which threw his better qualities into the background.

		Vitellius made a few attempts to check the victorious advance of his opponent, and even tried to collect a new army at Rome, but both officers and soldiers soon laid down their arms.

	Aulus Vitellius, part 1: Youth and early career
		Aulus Vitellius was born on September 7, 15, as the oldest son of Sextilia and Lucius Vitellius, still a young man who was a protégé of the emperor Tiberius.
		Lucius Vitellius was by now one of the most important courtiers in Rome, and it comes as no surprise that his son had an easy career.
		Vitellius may have been in love, because the marriage was beneath his rank: as a former consul and son of a former consul, he belonged to the highest nobility, and Galeria's father was of praetorian rank.

		Vitellius then ordered that these latter troops should be attached to his own force, in consideration of their loyalty, and that the legion should pass over the Graian Alps, and then take that line of road, by which they would avoid passing Vienna, for the inhabitants of that place were also suspected.
		Vitellius did not turn away his eyes, did not shudder to behold the unburied corpses of so many thousands of his countrymen; nay, in his exultation, in his ignorance of the doom which was so close upon himself, he actually instituted a religious ceremony in honour of the tutelary gods of the place.
		Vitellius was distributing to each soldier provisions ready dressed on the same abundant scale as the gladiators' rations, and the populace had poured forth, and spread themselves throughout the entire camp.

		Without hesitation Vitellius surrendered himself and his cohorts to the discretion of the conqueror, and the soldiers threw down their ill-starred arms in rage quite as much as in alarm.
		And even the invective against Vitellius comes too late, and is ungenerous; while certainly it is arrogance to the State and an insult to the Emperor to boast that he had the Imperial power in his hands, and made a present of it to Vespasian." Their dislike, however, was concealed; their adulation was open enough.
		Vitellius in fact, after withdrawing the effective troops from the cohorts, had loaded with arms a crowd of idlers from the neighbouring villages of the Nervii and the Germans.

		Vitellius, who was standing before the steps of the palace, and was preparing to intercede, was induced to desist.
		Lucius himself sent to his brother a laurelled dispatch with an account of his success, and asked whether he wished him at once to return to Rome, or to complete the subjugation of Campania.
		Lucius Vitellius, infamous as he was, had yet some energy, but it was not through his virtues, as is the case with the good, but through his vices, that he, like the worst of villains, was formidable.

		Vitellius was upset by these reproaches and made a short speech of apology, throwing the blame on the troops, whose impetuosity had, he said, overborne his own restraint.
		Vitellius was standing at the top of the palace steps preparing to appeal to their better feelings, but they forced him to give up the attempt.
		For Lucius Vitellius, despite his shady reputation, did get things done, and as good men derive their effectiveness from their virtues, so he, like all who are really evil, derived his from his vices.

		So, Gaius and Lucius Piso and their group planned to assassinate Nero in the year 65 C.E. The attempt failed because Milichus told Nero about the plot in the hopes of recieving a large reward, but Nero was so shook with sudden terror that he mistook milichus' greed for loyalty.
		Lucius Piso had a daughter with his brother's widow, this daughter was the 'Fannia' of history.
		Lucius Piso died in 73 C.E., but his villa was maintained by relatives until it was buried by ash when Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 C.E. Something that a person studying history ought to ask themselves is why would Arria the Younger name her daughter 'Fannia'?

		Vitellius, as it were, roused out of a deep sleep, ordered Julius Priscus and Alphenus Varus, with fourteen Prætorian Cohorts and all the several Squadrons of horse to beset the passes of the Apennine.
		A nobler choice Vitellius still had, to be roused even by despair to some attempt daring and brave, such as became the high honours sustained by his father, even that of Censor, and of three Consulships, such as became the lustre of his venerable house, distinguished with so many grand dignities in the State.
