What is Publius Among the Fishes about?
Abstract A year after Augustus’s death, while one of the Vitellii brothers, the courtly Lucius Vitellius, was at the slow shifting centre of the empire, the other, Publius, was at its northernmost edge facing clearer and more present danger. Lucius was in Rome with his wife and their son, the future emperor Aulus, who the augurs said should never be in charge of an army. Publius, whose birth auguries were unrecorded, was in Germany proving that the family prophets might have got the wrong man. In temporary command of two legions, he was leading an unnecessary march that had become a mass drowning.
