(donative = bribe)
Quote:To win senatorial support, Galba chose as his heir a scion of a noble Roman family, Lucius Calpurnius Piso Frugi Licinianus, instead of Otho, who had been his loyal ally. Otho won over the praetorians with the promise of a donative, and they murdered Galba and Piso in the Roman Forum on January 15.
