Vitellius overthrew Otho at Bedriacum in April, then faced rebellion from his own troops, with Marcus Antonius Primus invading from the Danube. The Vitellians were defeated at Bedriacum, near Cremona, and Primus reached Rome, where Vitellius was discovered in hiding and killed. The instability of the <i>"Year of the Four Emperors"</i> ended with the accession of Vespasian.
