After Emperor Nero's death there was a brief period of civil war in the Roman Empire called "The Year of the Four Emperors". In the year 69 AD, four men ruled as Emperor in succession: Galba, Otho, Vitellius and finally Vespasian.

I'm wondering if there's any way for the first three to remain on the throne for longer than a few months at a time. I assume Galba isn't likely to remain Emperor for long in any case because his short rule seems to have been a bit of a disaster and he was IIRC very old at the time, but what about the other two, Otho and Vitellius?
