Flavius Vespasianus Titus

Falvius Vespasianus Titus (40-81) was Roman emperor, born at Rome, the son of Vespasian, served in Germany and Britain, and under his father in Judæa. On his father's elevation to the throne persecuted the Jews, laid siege to Jerusalem, and took the city in AD 70. On his accession to the throne he addressed himself to works of public beneficence, and became the idol of the citizens. His death was sudden, and his reign lasted only three years. During that short period he won for himself the title of the "Delight of Mankind".
