A history of Ancient Rome concerning the three short-lived emperors of A.D. 69, Galba, Otho and Vitellius, and the three emperors of the succeeding Flavian dynasty (Vespasian, 69-79; Titus, 79-81; and Domitian, 81-96). Originally twelve or fourteen books in length, the Histories survive to the extent of the first four and a portion of the fifth, covering the 'Year of the Four Emperors' A.D. 69, and some nine months of A.D. 70.
