The Life of A Salvius Otho

The Life of Otho narrates a tale filled with ambition, betrayal, and the ruthless pursuit of power. Following Nero's suicide, Otho aims for the throne but faces an obstacle in his former ally, Galba, who becomes emperor instead. In a desperate bid for power, Otho murders Galba to claim the title, embarking on a brief and tumultuous reign during the Year of the Four Emperors, as documented by Suetonius in The Twelve Caesars.
