拍品专文

Vitellius was known for feasting in the extreme, sometimes banqueting four times a day. Only ruling for eight months, his reign quickly ended with the outbreak of civil war in December of the year 69. When Vespasian's troops entered Rome, Vitellius was found hiding and was subsequently murdered at the Gemonian stairs.
