The year 69 according to our era ( DCCCXXII according to the Roman calendar from urbe condita ) goes down in the history of the Roman Empire as the first four-emperor year . Galba , Otho and finally Vitellius follow each other on the imperial throne at short intervals . Only relatively late in the year does another aspirant to the throne intervene in the civil war: Vespasian , who is put on the shield by the legions of the eastern provinces of Judea and Egypt , decisively defeats Vitellius and his Rhine legion in the Second Battle of Bedriacum and thus ascends as the first emperor from the Flavian dynasty the throne.

The new emperor is immediately faced with a difficult task. Because in the province of Germania Inferior - spurred on by predictions of the seer Veleda - the Batavians under Julius Civilis rose to shake off Roman rule .
