How did vitellius become emperor on Rome?

Vespasian became emperor by a military alliance. His own troops backed him and he also had the alliance of the Syrian troops. It was enough for him to overpower his other rivals and become emperor. The news of Galba marching on Rome, caused Vaspasian to temporarily suspend his crusade to end the revolt in Jerusalem.


How did the Roman governor of Spain plan to become emperor of the Roman empire?

It was not quite like that. Galba did not raise a legion to overthrow Nero. By the time he raised his legion, Nero had already died through assisted suicide and Galba had already been recognised as emperor . He and his legio VII Galbiana,were welcomed in the city of Rome. Moreover:1) The rebellion against Nero was not started by Galba. It was started by Caius Julius Vindex, the governor of Gallia Lugdunensis, one of the Roman provinces in Gaul. Vindex was defeated and killed in battle by Lucius Verginius Rufus. After this Nymphidius Sabinus, the prefect of the Praetorian (imperial) Guard, wanted to become emperor and got the guards to support Galba to bolster his bid for power. However, when Nero died Galba was recognised as emperor. It was after Nero had died and after he had been recognised as emperor that Galba made his move. He did not do any fighting.2) Galba was not the governor of Spain. Spain did not exist back then. He was the governor of Hispania Tarraconensis, one of the three Roman provinces in Hispania (the Iberian Peninsula).
