Explanation: In 69 AD (nice), a series of four Emperors ruled in the Roman Empire, one after another. Galba, having overthrown the infamously bad Nero in 68 AD, was himself overthrown by Otho. Otho, then, was overthrown by Vitellius. The general Vespasian sent his son to pledge allegiance to Galba and assure Galba and the Senate that Vespasian had no designs on anything except his assigned duties crushing a rebellion in Iudea. Vespasian’s son, however, arrived to find he was two Emperors late to pledge allegiance to Galba, and rode back to tell his dad that things were fucked - Vespasian then marched on Rome and overthrew Vitellius, managing a stable rule for the next decade.

It’s technically a reward, but you don’t really want to touch it with a 10-foot pole.
