Vitellius was a Roman emperor who ruled for only eight months in AD 69, a chaotic year when four different men claimed the throne and civil war erupted across the empire. He is historically significant because his brief reign exemplifies the political instability of this period and shows how emperors competed for popularity by appealing to the memory of the popular emperor Nero.

Aulus Vitellius (7. oder 24. September 12 oder 15 n. Chr. in Lucera – 20. oder 21. Dezember 69 in Rom) war von April 69 bis zu seinem Tod im Dezember desselben Jahres Römischer Kaiser. Er war einer der vier Kaiser des Vierkaiserjahres in den Wirren des Bürgerkrieges nach Neros erzwungenem Suizid am 9. Juni 68. Der Kaiserbiograf Sueton beschreibt ihn als einen herrschsüchtigen Trunkenbold, der aufgrund seiner robusten Sprache großes Ansehen bei seiner Truppe besaß.
