A superb read through the first of the Caesars.
Titus (Latin: Titus Flāvius Caesar Vespasiānus Augustus;[a] 30 December 39 AD – 13 September 81 AD) was Roman Emperorfrom 79 to 81. A member of the Flavian dynasty, Titus succeeded his father Vespasian upon his death, thus becoming the first Roman Emperor to come to the throne after his own biological father.
A reasonably good emperor, though only managed a couple of years. and then his younger brother took over, and that was a different matter...
