The revolt of Vindex
68 · Event
A Gallic governor rises against Nero's taxes — and though the Rhine legions crush him within weeks, the damage is done: he had declared for Galba, governor of Spain, and shown that a provincial army could nominate an emperor. Nero's support evaporates not on a battlefield but in the corridors of Rome.
