09 01 Vitellius RIC I 81
Vitellius 69 A.D. AR Denarius.  Rome Mint. Late April-Dec 20, 69 A.D.  (2.91g, 18.8mm, 5h).  Obv: A VITELLIVS GERMAN IMP TR P, laureate head right.  Rev: LIBERTAS RESTITVTA, Libertas, draped, standing facing, head right, r. holding pileus, l. scepter.  RIC I 81, RSC 48.  Ex CNG 258, Lot 367.  

In the year of 4 emperors, Vitellius assumed the throne after his German legions proclaimed him emperor, marched on Rome, and murdered Otho.  Vitellius only ruled for mere months before Vespasian’s eastern legions  arrived and murdered him in turn.  He was known for his gluttony.   I have a Vitellius denarius, but couldn't help picking up this nice example from a reputable dealer for a reasonable price.
