Lucius Vitellius (before 7 BC – AD 51) was the youngest of four sons of procurator Publius Vitellius and the only one who did not die through politics. He was consul three times, which was unusual during the Roman empire for someone who was not a member of the Imperial family. The first time was in the year 34 as the colleague of Paullus Fabius Persicus;[1] the second was in 43 as the colleague of the emperor Claudius;[2] the third was in 47 again as the colleague of the emperor Claudius.[3]
