Woman of the Chatti information


Vitellius on a contemporary coin

The Woman of the Chatti (Latin: Chatta mulier), or the Chattian seeress, is an alleged Germanic seeress of the Chattian tribe who according to Suetonius prophesied that Roman Emperor Vitellius (ruled in 69 AD) would reign for a long time if he survived his mother Sextilia. This would have led to Vitellius murdering his aged mother by poison or starvation. No such seeress is mentioned by other sources, and so it may have been a malevolent rumour to justify the coup d'état by Vespasian.

Vitellius did however stay in Cologne near Chattian territory earlier in the year when he became emperor, and may have consulted with a seeress from that tribe.
