Otho, 15 January 69 - 17 April 69 A.D.
|Otho|, |Otho,| |15| |January| |69| |-| |17| |April| |69| |A.D.|, Otho supported Galba's revolt against Nero in expectation he would be named heir. Since he was not, Otho had himself declared emperor. He ruled for only three months. After a minor defeat by Vitellius, Otho committed suicide. This was perhaps the only noble act of his life - he preferred to die rather than see more bloodshed in civil war.
