By similar bounty Otho sought to win the affections of the
cities and provinces. He bestowed on the colonies of Hispalis and Emerita some
additional families, on the entire people of the Lingones the privileges of
Roman citizenship; to the province of Bætica
he joined the states of Mauritania, and granted
to Cappadocia and Africa new
rights, more for display than for permanent utility. In the midst of these
measures, which may find an excuse in the urgency of the crisis and the
anxieties which pressed upon him, he still did not forget his old amours,
and by a decree of the Senate restored the statues of Poppæa. It is
even believed that he thought of celebrating the memory of Nero in the hope
of winning the populace, and persons were found to exhibit statues of that
Prince. There were days on which the people and the soldiers greeted him
with shouts of Nero Otho, as if they were heaping on him new distinction and
honour. Otho himself wavered in suspense, afraid to f

the same time news came to Vitellius that the procurator Albinus had fallen,
and that both the provinces of Mauritania had
declared for him. Lucceius Albinus, whom Nero had appointed to the
government of Mauritania Cæsariensis, to which
Galba had subsequently added the charge of the province of Tingitana, had the disposal of no contemptible force. He

Galba had subsequently added the charge of the province of Tingitana, had the disposal of no contemptible force. He
had with him 19 cohorts of infantry, 5 squadrons of cavalry, and a vast
number of Moors, a force trained to war by robbery and plunder. When Galba
had fallen, he was strongly disposed in favour of Otho. He even looked
beyond Africa and threatened Spain, which is separated from it only by a narrow
strait. This alarmed Cluvius Rufus, who ordered the 10th legion to approach
the coast, as if he intended to send them across. Some of the centurions
were sent on before to gain for Vitellius the good-will of the Moors. This
was no difficult task, as the fame of the German army was great in the
provinces. Besides this, a repor

the stanchest friends of Albinus, prefect of one of the
squadrons of cavalry, with Festus and Scipio, prefects of two infantry
cohorts, were killed. Albinus himself, who was sailing from the province Tingitana to Mauritania
Cæsariensis, was murdered as he reached the shore. His wife threw
herself in the way of the murderers and was killed with him. Vitellius made
no inquiries into what was going on. He dismissed matters of even the
greatest importance with brief hearing, and was quite unequal to any serious
business. He directed the army to proceed by land, but sailed himself down
the river Arar. His progress had nothing of imperial
state about it, but was marked by the poverty of his former condition, till
