Title:
Rome and its residents in the years 68—69: “a great and wretched city”
Creator:
Ścigała, Judyta
Description:
In the Year of the Four Emperors Rome saw many dramatic events. Despite the fact that in that period the capital of the empire was not the centre stage of events, both the city and its residents did suffer a great deal.  Numerous references furnished by source literature enable us to reconstruct the image of Rome of the years 68—69. The subsequent emperors who came to the capital: Galba, Otho and Vitellius, exploited it — each of them during their brief reign — to attain their personal goals, for example by placing numerous representations of themselves in various places in the city. Each subsequent entry of an emperor to the city entailed greater and great. However, it were the gods who were blamed to the greatest extent for destroying Rome. It was them who brought about many disasters in the city by the Tiber by sending numerous mala on the capital.
