Historical background
VESPASIAN and TITUS
(+79)
Titus is the eldest son of Vespasian and Flavia Domitilla, born in 39. In 66, when Vespasian receives the proconsulate and three legions from Nero with the task of suppressing the Judean revolt which has just broken out, Titus follows his father to Judea where he is legate of the XV Apollinaris legion. After the proclamation of Alexandria on July 1, 69 when Vespasian was acclaimed Augustus, the new emperor left it to him to complete the pacification of Judea during which he fell in love with Bérénice (cf. Racine's play). After taking Jerusalem in the summer of 70, he celebrated the Triumph with his father in January 71..
