Vespasian: Sons
built 653 days ago
In foreign affairs, Vespasian increased the number of legions in the East (where his son, Titus, was still involved with the revolt in Judaea). He ... continued the invasion of Britain, capturing the north, pacifying Wales and venturing into Scotland. He also ventured into southwest Germany and granted Latin rights to communities, particularly in Spain, thus ensuring the rapid Romanisation of the province.

Vespasian now headed for Rome, leaving his son Titus behind to capture Jerusalem, and arrived at Rome in October AD 70. He was almost 61 but he was still fit and active.

Vespasian was honest about the source of his power – military strength. Using his new position to grant himself more powers, Vespasian immediately began talking up his humble origins and publishing the divine omens he claimed had predicted his spectacular rise. Finally, he wasted no time establishing his dynasty, insisting that his two sons – Titus and Domitian – would succeed him.

Mucianus, now in control of Rome, thanks to Primus, had all potential troublemakers executed and had a watchful eye turned towards Domitianus, son of Vespasian. Vespasian himself returned to Rome in 70 AD, where he erected a temple of peace in the forum as a symbol of the end of the civil war. The coins minted by Vespasian often bore images to commemorate the restoration of peace, because it was an enormous effort to him to gain the people’s sympathy due to his lowly origins. One of the most famous of Vespasian’s coins commemorates the taking of Jerusalem by his eldest son Titus, who was left in command in the east. The caption read "JUDEA CAPTA". Vespasian’s power relied on the army that put down the Jewish uprising (except for the fortress Massada, which was taken in 73 AD after a long siege) and, under the command of Cerealis, decisively defeated the Germanic and Gallic tribes at Augusta Treverorum.
