Thurinius Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Well actually it's the year before the year of the Four Emperors being set in 68 AD. But that's the year it all kicked off! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Palatine-The-Four-Emperors-ebook/dp/B009JV8I0K/ref=sr_1_3?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1349524578&sr=1-3 68/69 AD is my favourite time in Ancient Rome because just so much d*mn stuff happens. And it is fascinating to get behind the motivations of the Would-be Emperors involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurinius Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hmm the link works for me. Perhaps there was an issue when you tried and yes I'll fess up to being the author. It was enormous fun to research (lots of oh so hard research trips to Rome). I have tackled the question of whether when Nymphidius Sabinus ousts Nero he is working in league with Galba or whether he is taking advantage of the situation for his own gains, i.e. sees the way the wind is blowing and then decides whose side he needs to be on. Historically I don't think it's clear, dramatically it makes for a better story if he is in league with Galba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
