L'année des quatre empereurs

In L'année des quatre empereurs, French publisher Gallia Vetus launched a compact two-issue series in 2019 that explores the tumultuous Roman civil war known as the Year of the Four Emperors. The series distills the chaos of 69 AD—when Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian vied for the throne—into a focused, historically grounded narrative. While the creative team is not widely known outside Francophone circles, the series stands out for its meticulous period detail and its ability to condense a sprawling historical crisis into a tight, accessible comic format. It matters as a concise entry point for readers interested in Roman history told through the comic medium.
