Titus

(Titus Flavius Vespasianus). Born A.D. 39; died A.D. 81. Roman emperor who reigned from 79 to 81. A member of the Flavian dynasty; son and successor of Vespasian.

As coruler with Vespasian, Titus conducted a campaign against the opposition of the aristocratic Senate in the period A.D 73–79. Yet after he became emperor, he ruled with the Senate’s consent. Titus spent lavish sums for relief and reconstruction after the plague and fire in Rome in 80 and after the eruption of Vesuvius on Aug. 24, 79, which destroyed the cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Stabiae. He was also generous with gifts and in sponsoring popular entertainments and public construction projects, among which were the Coliseum and several thermae. Titus is said by classical authors to have been a splendid emperor; Suetonius (Titus, 1) called him “the darling of mankind.”
