        VESPASIAN, full name TITUS FLAVIUS SABINUS VESPASIANUS (AD 9-79),
        Emperor AD69-79, was born in Sabine Reate, near Rome. During the
      middle of the 1st century AD he commanded a legion in Germany and in
      Britain conquered the Isle of Wight. In 66 he campaigned against the
       Jews in Judea. Upon being chosen emperor in 69, he left the war in
       Judea to his son Titus and returned to Rome, where he restored the
            government and the public finances. After the capture and
       destruction of Jerusalem by Titus in 70, the world was at peace for
       nine years. Other important events of Vespasian's reign include the
      suppression of a formidable revolt (69-70) by the Germanic Batavians
      under their leader Julius Civilis; conquests in Britain by the Roman
       general Gnaeus Julius Agricola; the development of a more extensive
       educational system; and the construction of the Colosseum in Rome.
              His son Titus succeeded him as emperor. Encarta 1994.
