Editing Legio V Alaudae (section)

=== Year of Four Emperors ===
In 67 AD, many senators hated Nero. And several governors discussed his removal. Among these were [[Lucius Clodius Macer]] of Africa and [[Gaius Julius Vindex]] of one of the provinces in Gaul, who supported the governor of Hispania Tarraconensis, [[Galba|Servius Sulpicius Galba]], when he proclaimed that he wanted to dethrone Nero. The army of Germania Inferior, which included the Legio V Alaudae marched to the south and defeated Gaius Julius Vindex.<ref name=":0" /> Therefore, the army of Germania Inferior acclaimed their own commander, [[Vitellius]], as emperor, and marched on Rome. They were successful, and Vitellius started his reign. However, in the east, general [[Vespasian]] had also decided to make a bid for power; the two armies clashed near [[Battle of Cremona|Cremona]] in northern Italy, and the Rhine army turned out to be no match for the soldiers of Vespasian.
