| 释义 |
His first wife in 46 or 47 was Junia Calvina, a descendant of the Emperor Augustus, but they divorced before 49. The second wife of Vitellius was Triaria. He had no issue from either of his marriages.[2] LifeAccording to Suetonius, Lucius was the favorite of three emperors, thus winning "public offices and important priesthoods"; these public offices included curator of the public works. He was proconsul of Africa, where Suetonius writes he behaved with exceptional honesty for two years, acting part of the time in place of his brother.[3] The emperors who favored him are most likely Claudius, Nero, and lastly his brother.[4] The best documented portion of his life was his last months, during the Year of Four Emperors. Suetonius records that he celebrated the entrance of his brother Aulus into Rome with a feast that included 2,000 choice fish and 7,000 game birds.[5] Tacitus records that he denounced Junius Blaesus to his brother, who had just returned to Rome from his governorship of Gallia Lugdunensis: Caecina Tuscus had thrown a banquet in Blaesus' honor, and when his brother the emperor noticed the mansion lit up, he compelled his brother to have Blaesus killed, claiming he was courting both the army and the urban mob. The emperor Vitellius eliminated Blaesus by poisoning.[6] When troops supporting Vespasian entered Rome, Lucius was in Campania with six cohorts and 500 cavalry crushing an insurgency of Vespasian's supporters. He had occupied Feronia and had captured Tarracina through treachery when his brother surrendered. Lucius himself surrendered at Bovillae, and was treacherously executed after negotiating with his captors for his safety.[7] References1. ^Paul Gallivan, [https://www.jstor.org/stable/638693 "The Fasti for the Reign of Claudius"], Classical Quarterly, 28 (1978), pp. 409, 425 {{s-start}}{{s-off}}{{s-bef|before=Aulus Vitellius, and 2. ^Steven Rutledge, Imperial Inquisitions: Prosecutors and informants from Tiberius to Domitian (London: Routledge, 2001), pp. 299f 3. ^Suetonius, "Vitellius", 5 4. ^Rutledge, Imperial Inquisitions, p. 298 5. ^Suetonius, "Vitellius", 13.2 6. ^Tacitus, Histories III.38-9 7. ^Tacitus, Histories, III.76f; IV.2 Lucius Vipstanus Poplicola}}{{s-ttl|title=Suffect Consul of the Roman Empire| years= AD 48| regent1=Gaius Vipstanus Messalla Gallus}}{{s-aft|after=Quintus Veranius, and Gaius Pompeius Longus Gallus}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Vitellius, Lucius}} 10 : 69 deaths|People of the Year of the Four Emperors|Roman governors of Africa|Suffect consuls of Imperial Rome|Vitellii|1st-century Romans|Executed ancient Roman people|People executed by the Roman Empire|1st-century executions|People executed by hanging |
