AULUS CAECINA ALIENUS

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 934 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AULUS CAECINA ALIENUS , Roman general, was
quaestor
  of Baetica in Spain (A.D. 68). On the death of Nero, he attached himself to Galba, who appointed him to the command of a
legion
  in upper Germany. Having been prosecuted for embezzling public money, Caecina went over to
Vitellius
 , who sent him with a large army into
Italy
 . Caecina crossed the Alps, but was defeated near Cremona by Suetonius Paulinus, the
chief
  general of
Otho
 . Subsequently, in conjunction with Fabius Valens, Caecina defeated
Otho
  at the decisive
battle
  of Bedriacum (Betriacum). The incapacity of
Vitellius
  tempted Vespasian to take up arms against him. Caecina, who had been entrusted with the repression of the revolt, turned traitor, and tried to persuade his army to go over to Vespasian, but was thrown into chains by the soldiers. After the overthrow of Vitellius, he was released, and taken into favour by the new emperor. But he could not remain loyal to any one. In 79 he was implicated in a conspiracy against Vespasian, and was put to death by order of Titus. Caecina is described by Tacitus as a man of handsome presence and boundless ambition, a gifted orator and a
great
  favourite with the soldiers.
Tacitus, Histories, i. 53, 61, 67-70, ii. 20-25, 41-44, iii. 13; Din
Cassius
  lxv. 10-14, lxvi. 16;
Plutarch
 , Otho, 7; Suetonius, Titus, 6; Zonaras xi. 17.
