The year of the four emperors is the year that follows AD69. Many senators resent the power of the House of Caesar very, very profoundly. They are quite keen to see their traditional dignity restored to them. A general called Galba feels that the Romans need looking into shape. He is a kind of an embodiment of the old martial, disciplinarian values.
At its peak, the Roman Empire was perhaps the greatest civilisation in history. But like so many cultures before and after it, it declined and finally ended.
