Description:

[ca. 69 CE] "Not only the praetorians, Otho’s personal guard, but the advance troops from Moesia, reported that the contingents on their way were just as steadfast, and that the legions had entered Aquileia" (Tacitus, Histories, 2.46)

[ca. 69 CE] "Both imbued with loyalty to Otho, though they were not involved at Bedriacum, they had turned away the messengers bringing news of Otho’s defeat and, after advancing as far as Aquileia, torn down the banners proclaiming Vitellius" (Tacitus, Histories, 2.85)

[ca. 69 CE] "Be that as it may, Primus and Varus, having occupied Aquileia, were received with joy in the neighbouring region at Oderzo"(Tacitus, Histories, 3.6)

[ca. 69 CE] "All this was unknown to Vespasian or had been expressly forbidden by him: in fact he had ordered operations not to extend beyond Aquileia, pending Mucianus" (Tacitus, Histories, 3.8)
