With the death of Nero AD 69 has become known as the 'Year of the Four Emperors'.

After Galba got the chop then came Otho, Vitellius with order only being restored when Vespasian ( the first Flavian Emperor) took the throne.

Step forward Balls, Johnston, Milliband. Your time has come!; 9 June 2008 at 23:39

Have heard so much about Gordie... it feels like time they get rid of him, just like in the story ;-); 11 June 2008 at 02:04
