Vespasian

Vespasian (AD 9 – AD 79), full name Titus Flavius Vespasianus, was Roman emperor (from 70 to 79) and tenth of the 12 Cæsars, born in the Sabine territory of humble parentage. He rose by his valour to high rank in the army and in favour with it, till at length he was elected by it to the throne. He had waged war successfully in Germany, Britain, and at Jerusalem, and during his reign, and nearly all through it, the temple of Janus was shut at Rome.
