Titus
Vespasian's elder son, who commanded at the siege of Jerusalem in 70 and destroyed the Second Temple — the act that ended Jewish statehood for nineteen centuries and that his own arch in Rome still advertises. As emperor he ruled two years, remembered warmly because Vesuvius and a fire in Rome gave him disasters to respond to generously and no time to be resented.
