Vespasian
Vespasian
(; ; 17 November 9 – 23 June 79) was
Roman Emperor
from AD 69 to AD 79. Vespasian founded the
Flavian dynasty
that ruled the Empire for twenty seven years. Vespasian was from an
equestrian
family that rose into the
senatorial
rank under the
Julio–Claudian
emperors. Although he fulfilled the
standard succession
of public offices, and held the
consulship
in AD 51, Vespasian's renown came from his military success: he was
legate
of
Legio II Augusta
during the
Roman invasion of Britain
in 43 and subjugated
Judaea
during the
Jewish rebellion
of 66.
