Although her marriage to Vespasian had been arranged by the Pon Q’tar, Persephone had been smitten at first sight. To her initial dismay, the same had not been true of her intended; but with time, he had come to return her love. The only shadow over their marriage was her failure to produce an heir. Repeated physical examinations of the empress by the Pon Q’tar clerics had produced no answers. Even their cleverly concocted fertility potions and specially designed enchantments had not helped her to conceive.

By acquiring the area between upper Rhine and Danube (agri decumates), Vespasian shortened the empire’s northern border significantly. The veteran general Cerealis subdued the Brigants in Britain, thereby pushing the Border further north towards Caledonia. Yet, those operations were the exception rather than the rule during Vespasian reign, and it was a time of relative peace throughout the Empire.

In contrast to his immediate imperial predecessors, Vespasian died peacefully - at Aquae Cutiliae near his birthplace in Sabine country on 23 June, A.D. 79, after contracting a brief illness. The occasion is said to have inspired his deathbed quip: "Oh my, I must be turning into a god!" [[23]] In fact, public deification did follow his death, as did his internment in the Mausoleum of Augustus alongside the Julio-Claudians.

In early 70, Vespasian was still in Egypt, the source of Rome's grain supply, and had not yet left for Rome. According to Tacitus, his trip was delayed due to bad weather.[2] Modern historians theorize that Vespasian had been and was continuing to consolidate support from the Egyptians before departing.[3] Stories of a divine Vespasian healing people circulated in Egypt.[4] During this period, protests erupted in Alexandria over his new tax policies and grain shipments were held up. Vespasian eventually restored order and grain shipments to Rome resumed.[5]

The most dangerous of such objections came to light in AD 79 when a plot against Vespasian's life two eminent senators, Eprius Marcellus and Caecina Alienus, was uncovered. Titus was fast to act and neither of the two conspirators survived.

Suetonius claims that Vespasian was met with "constant conspiracies" against him.[22] Only one conspiracy is known specifically, though. In 78 or 79, Eprius Marcellus and Caecina Alienus attempted to kill Vespasian. Why these men turned against Vespasian is not known.
