| Additional information |
Vitellius held power for less than eight months in 69 AD, the Year of the Four Emperors, before being killed by Vespasian's forces in December. His coinage was struck under severe political pressure, with the mint at Rome producing issues rapidly to legitimize a reign that most of the empire never fully accepted. RIC I 33 is among the more frequently encountered Vitellian types, which reflects concentrated production in a short window rather than any particular abundance.
