Titus

Ruled from 79-81AD

Titus, Vespasian's son, took power after his father's death, after being selected by him as his successor, who had been left by him in Judea to deal with Revolt (did so successfully; destroyed temple).

Hand tremendous experience; hopes were high that he'd continue success of father. But the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius and a great fire at Rome took up most of his attention and energy, and he died after only two years in office. He did refuse to hear maiestas cases and banished informers from the city.

Successor? Death?
