Titus
79–81 AD
Titus, son of Vespasian, was a celebrated military commander before becoming emperor. His victory in the Jewish War and the capture of Jerusalem earned him lasting fame, commemorated on the Arch of Titus. As emperor he presided over a period of stability and generosity, including relief efforts after the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. His short reign was marked by popularity and effective governance. His coinage reflects Flavian themes of victory, stability and dynastic legitimacy.
