11 I, 22 | and a year of glory for Otho. This is a class of men,
12 I, 22 | Ptolemaeus, had attended Otho in Spain, and had there
13 I, 22 | compared Galba's age with Otho's youth, he had persuaded
14 I, 22 | be called to the throne. Otho however received the prediction
15 I, 23 | conceived, is doubtful. Otho had long been courting the
16 I, 24 | whenever Galba dined with Otho, one hundred sesterces to
17 I, 24 | almost call a public bounty, Otho followed up by presents
18 I, 26 | would actually have seized Otho on the 14th of January,
19 I, 26 | might be fixed on instead of Otho, whom few of them knew.

21 I, 27 | reason of his departure, Otho pretended that he was purchasing
22 I, 29 | affirmed that this senator was Otho. At the same time came messengers
23 I, 29 | in comparing oneself with Otho is needless. The vices,
24 I, 31 | shouts for the death of Otho and the destruction of the
25 I, 32 | men can gather strength. Otho himself will be alarmed,
26 I, 32 | himself will be alarmed, Otho, who stole away to be introduced

28 I, 33 | wanting confirmation, that Otho had been slain in the camp;
29 I, 34 | sword, cried "I have slain Otho." "Comrade," replied Galba, "
30 I, 35 | content with surrounding Otho with their persons in close
31 I, 35 | embrace, placed him close to Otho, dictated to him the oath
32 I, 35 | soldiers to their Emperor. Otho did not fail to play his
33 I, 38 | him to be an accomplice of Otho, or, it may be, out of mere
34 I, 39 | and profound indignation. Otho however was told that they
35 I, 40 | declared itself plainly for Otho. The Forum was deserted

37 I, 42 | destruction, till there came, by Otho's direction and specially
38 I, 43 | told, no death of which Otho heard with greater joy,
39 I, 44 | soldiers, covered the hand of Otho with kisses; the more insincere
40 I, 44 | multiplied them. Nor did Otho repulse the advances of
41 I, 44 | most virtuous citizens, and Otho had not yet sufficient authority
42 I, 45 | had embraced the cause of Otho. With him was associated
43 I, 45 | associated Licinius Proculus, Otho's intimate friend, and consequently
44 I, 45 | finally into civil war. Otho, however, not to alienate

46 I, 46 | conferred by decree upon Otho the tribunitial office,
47 I, 49 | of the old character of Otho, was heightened into terror
48 I, 49 | and Brutus. And is it for Otho or for Vitellius that we
49 I, 63 | Galba and the accession of Otho while he was in the country
50 I, 63 | however ceased to hesitate: Otho and Vitellius it hated equally,
51 I, 69 | decurions, who knew nothing of Otho, but were bound to Vitellius,
52 I, 69 | thought to be faithful to Otho. Fearing however that he
53 I, 70 | Meanwhile Otho, to the surprise of all,
54 I, 70 | an example of fidelity. Otho did not treat him as a man
55 I, 70 | Celsus maintained also to Otho a fidelity as irreproachable
56 I, 72 | through the reigns of Galba, Otho, and Vitellius. Soon she
57 I, 73 | flatteries, were addressed by Otho to Vitellius, with offers
58 I, 73 | crimes, and both spoke truth. Otho, having recalled the envoys
59 I, 73 | Some Praetorians, whom Otho had attached to the embassy,
60 I, 73 | transferred the Imperial power to Otho, though it had so long before
61 I, 74 | emissaries were dispatched by Otho to Germany, and by Vitellius

66 I, 75 | the oath of allegiance to Otho which Julius Cordus had
67 I, 75 | the sea, still adhered to Otho, not from any attachment
68 I, 75 | Mucianus, swore allegiance to Otho. Egypt and the Eastern provinces
69 I, 76 | was compelled to fight. Otho continued to discharge his
70 I, 76 | already held high office, Otho bestowed, as a crowning

72 I, 77 | him with shouts of Nero Otho, as if they were heaping
73 I, 77 | distinction and honour. Otho himself wavered in suspense,
74 I, 78 | ensigns of consular rank. Otho was delighted, and claimed

76 I, 79 | were being armed to destroy Otho; many acted in ignorance
77 I, 80 | Otho was giving a crowded entertainment
78 I, 80 | watched the countenance of Otho. And, as it happened, so
79 I, 80 | ready were all to suspect, Otho felt as much alarm as he
80 I, 81 | banquet with loud demands that Otho should shew himself. They

90 I, 87 | was Lucius Vitellius, whom Otho treated as he treated the
91 I, 88 | protracted war. Many suggested to Otho, as he was setting out,
92 I, 89 | invectives against Vitellius. For Otho was believed to avail himself
93 I, 89 | honour now went for nothing. Otho set out, leaving the peace
94 II, 1 | either of Vitellius or of Otho; that should he turn back,
