THE ARCHOF TITUS

The career of Titus was closely associated with that of his father Vespasian, even before they ruled together from the imperial throne. As a youth, Titus followed his father on his campaigns in Germany and Britain, and it was to Titus that Vespasian passed command of the Jewish War, which was in progress when he was elected emperor. Titus received full credit for reducing Jerusalem and received a great triumph when he returned to Rome. He was treated as a hero, and for most of his father's reign, shared many of the duties of the emperor. Like his father, Titus was a relatively benevolent ruler, and was noted for his generosity, and lavish spending on public works. He completed work on the Colosseum, and also built a lavish public bath, called the Baths of Titus. He reigned alone, after his father's death for only three years, but during that time, two notable disasters occurred.

Roman emperor from AD 79 to 81

This article is about the Roman emperor. For other uses, see Titus (disambiguation).

Titus Caesar Vespasianus (TY-təs; 30 December 39 – 13 September AD 81) was Roman emperor from 79 to 81. A member of the Flavian dynasty, Titus succeeded his father Vespasian upon his death, becoming the first Roman emperor ever to succeed his biological father.

Before becoming emperor, Titus gained renown as a military commander, serving under his father in Judea during the First Jewish–Roman War. The campaign came to a brief halt with the death of emperor Nero in 68, launching Vespasian's bid for the imperial power during the Year of the Four Emperors. When Vespasian was declared Emperor on 1 July 69, Titus was left in charge of ending the Jewish rebellion. In 70, he besieged and captured Jerusalem, and destroyed the city and the Second Temple. For this achievement Titus was awarded a triumph; the Arch of Titus commemorates his victory and still stands today.

During his father's rule, Titus gained notoriety in Rome serving as prefect of the Praeto

Young years

Titus was born on December 30, 39 in Aquae Cutillae, a former spa near Rome, currently on the territory of the Italian city of Castel Sant'Angelo. He is the son of Vespasian (9 - 79), who came from a family of local notables and as such he could get closer to the emperor Claude. Titus grew up in the company of Britannicus, Claude's son, in a pleasant and luxurious setting.
