Hist. 2.68.1Igitur Vitellius metū et odiō quod Petrōniam uxōrem eius mox Dolābella in mātrimōnium accēpisset, vocātum per epistulās vītātā Flāminiae viae celebritāte dēvertere Interamnium atque ibi interficī iussit.So Vitellius, from fear, and from hatred because Dolabella had lately taken his former wife Petronia in marriage, summoned him by letter, and ordered him to avoid the crowds of the Flaminian Way, turn aside to Interamna and be killed there. Hist. 2.68.1Longum interfectōrī vīsum: in itinere ac tabernā prōiectum humī iugulāvit, magnā cum invidiā novī prīncipātūs, cuius hoc prīmum specimen nōscēbātur.That seemed too long to the assassin: on the journey, at an inn, he threw him to the ground and cut his throat, to the great discredit of the new reign, of which this was recognised as the first specimen. Hist. 2.68.1Et Triāriae licentiam modestum ē proximō exemplum onerābat, Galeria imperātōris uxor nōn immixta trīstibus;And Triaria's licence was made more odious by a modest example close at hand, Galeria, the emperor's wife, who had no part in these grim deeds; Hist. 2.68.1et parī probitāte māter Vitelliōrum Sextīlia, antīquī mōris: dīxisse quīn etiam ad prīmās fīliī suī epistulās ferēbātur, nōn Germānicum ā sē sed Vitellium genitum.and of equal virtue was the mother of the Vitellii, Sextilia, a woman of the old ways: indeed she was reported to have said, on her son's first letters, that she had borne not a Germanicus but a Vitellius.
Hist. 2.68.1Nec ūllīs posteā fortūnae inlecebrīs aut ambitū cīvitātis in gaudium ēvicta domus suae tantum adversa sēnsit.Nor afterwards was she won over to joy by any allurements of fortune or by the courting of the citizens; she felt only the misfortunes of her house.
