I found it interesting in this youtube video about Vespasian that “Nero consulted the Delphic Oracle, asking how long he might expect to live. The reply, cryptic and ironic as ever, was “beware the age of 73”. Being 31, Nero rejoiced that he had 42 years to live, meanwhile the governor of Spain, Sulspicius Galba, was drilling his soldiers to march on Rome. Galba’s age was 73”.

I found it so interesting I began to read about the Oracle and it led me to this article.
