(39–81 AD)
Roman emperor. Original name Titus Flavius Vespasianus. He was born in Rome on 30 December 39, son of Titus Flavius Vespasianus, the future Emperor Vespasian, and Flavia Domitilla. Titus headed one of the legions that his father took on his campaign against the Jewish Revolt in 67. When his father was proclaimed emperor in 69, he then took over command of the expedition against Jerusalem. Titus captured Jerusalem in August 70 and returned to Rome via Egypt, where he was present at Memphis for the installation of an Apis bull. He became his father’s staunchest supporter in Rome and succeeded him in 79. He proved an effective and popular emperor but died after a short rule at Aquae Cutilae on 13 September 81.
