[edit] Date Vitellius became imperator
January 2, 69 is not Vitellius' first day as imperator -- that was during Galba's last days, even before Otho. I was amazed to find through Google that this incorrect date is splashed all over the Web as Vitellius' first day; obviously this article, or its source, has been distributed widely with the error intact.
www.roman-britain.org gives Vitellius' first day as April 17, 69, which would conform with the end of Otho's reign (given as April 16 in Wiki), and so I am changing it thus unless someone has better info. --Pontifex 00:37, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
