Midway through the first Jewish–Roman war, civil war broke out in the Roman Empire, triggered by the overthrow of Nero in June 68 AD. By April 69 Vitellius, commander of the Rhine legions, had defeated Otho—the second emperor that year—but his reign was soon challenged in the East, where many had supported Otho. In July the legions in Egypt, Judea, and Syria rose up under the leadership of the general Vespasian—who had been suppressing the Jewish revolt—and prepared to march on Italy.
