Battle of Locus Castrorum
- Battle of Locus Castrorum
The Battle of Locus Castrorum took place during the Year of the Four Emperors. Locus Castorum was a village that existed in the 1st century Roman Empire roughly 12 miles from Cremonia. It was also referred to as "the Castors" and "at Castor's." The village may have been the location of a temple to the Gemini twins, Castor and Pollux.
The forces of Otho met the forces of Vitellius there. It was one of three early victories for Otho (the first being in the Alps and the second being near Placentia), but Vitellius was eventually the victor at Betriacum.
Locus Castorum is mentioned in Suetonius "The Lives of Twelve Caesars" Life of Otho, 9 and Tacitus "Histories" II.24
