In May 69, Mucianus formally implored Vespasian to challenge Vitellius. His appeal was followed by Vespasian's official proclamation as Emperor in early July.

They were swiftly followed by Vespasian's Judaean legions on 3 July and thereafter by Mucianus' Syrian legions on 15 July.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Vitellius" title="Vitellius">Vitellius</a>, the occupant of the throne, had the veteran legions of <a href="/wiki/Roman_Gaul" title="Roman Gaul">Gaul</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Rhineland" title="Rhineland">Rhineland</a>.
