Translation: The man who was emperor after Galba.[1] He was from a lowly and undistinguished family and had been a nonentity in his earlier life, but was a very close friend of Nero's on account of the similarity of their lifestyles;[2] and during his time as emperor he was unable to change ingrained habits because serious wars against him had immediately broken out.
