The disruption of an imperial banquet by angry soldiers in Plutarch’s OthoCr o s s i n g s t a t u s b a r r i e r s : t h e disr uption o f a n imper ialb a n q u e t b y a n g r y s o l d i e r s in Pl u t a r c h’s Ot h oLukas de BloisRadboud University of NijmegenAbstractIn his Life of Otho, chapter 3, Plutarch describes a dinner that the emperor Otho had with 80senators, some of whom had brought their ladies with them. The dinner was disturbed by soldiersof the praetorian guard, who felt very uneasy and distrustful against the senators, and thoughtthat they had to save the emperor from a senatorial conspiracy after having seen weapons loadedupon wagons. Violating the exclusivity of the imperial dinner, in other words breaking throughan important status barrier, they inverted the positive effect of this great banquet, and thusdamaged Otho’s reputation among the upper classes beyond repair. In Plutarch’s Galba andOtho, which should be read as one opus, this dinner story negatively inverts an important meansof imperial representation and thus indicates how weak Otho’s position really was. It presents aswell a clear symptom of the serious deterioration of military discipline that in this year of civilstrife (AD 68-69) manifested itself and may be seen as a consequence of bad leadership at thetop (by Galba and Otho) and at the second level of authority (by people such as NymphidiusSabinus, Vinius, Laco, Icelus and Otho’s cronies). By choosing an imperial banquet, which shouldbe a place of friendship with high status amici Caesaris, a show-case of imperial power andpaideia, and a mirror of hierarchies within the urban Roman elite, as the scene where the utterescalation of military misbehaviour and the total loss of imperial authority over the military mobcame to light, Plutarch accentuates the social and representational importance of such banquets.In Otho 3.3-7 Plutarch tells us that near Rome soldiers of the praetorianguard became suspicious when they noticed that weapons were loaded onwagons (probably to equip soldiers who were to participate in the war againstthe Vitellians, LdB). Some soldiers attacked the wagons, others killed twocenturions who opposed them, as well as Crispinus, the higher officer in charge.Apparently the soldiers thought that a coup against the emperor Otho was athand, which they wanted to prevent. The whole mob, putting themselves inarray and exhorting one another to go to the help of the emperor, marched toRome. Here, learning that eighty senators were at supper with Otho – someof them with their wives – they rushed to the palace, declaring that now was agood time to take off all the emperor’s enemies at one stroke. In the palace therewas dire perplexity, which fell upon Otho and his guests, who kept their eyesfixed upon him in speechless terror. But he sent the prefects of the guard withorders to explain matters to the soldiers and appease them, while at the sametime he dismissed his guests by another door; and they barely made their escapeas the soldiers, forcing their way through the guards into the great hall, askedwhat was become of the enemies of Caesar. In this crisis, then, Otho stoodup on his couch, and after many exhortations, and entreaties, and not withoutplentiful tears, at last succeeded in sending them away (Plutarch, Otho 3.4-7).Is this just a minor episode in a chaotic year, the year of the four emperors,which was full of usurpations, civil strife, killing and plundering? Why doesPlutarch give us this dinner story, in this very short biography of Otho, when he223
