Yes, I watched that as soon as you posted the vid thanks. I am a Chrisitan and the time period you have just covered is a time period that is important to me as it leads up to and includes the Jewish wars. The year of the four emperors must have felt like the empire was collapsing to the Romans. Again thank you for your videos.

[@TheSPQRHistorian]

Thanks man, the further I go on you can expect more and more Christian history ;)

Titus was good for whom? He did much evil in his lifetime, with arrogant disregard for the pain and suffering of others. For me, it is a sign of divine displeasure that he died in his early forties, just as the eruption of Vesuvius happened on the exact date that Titus had burned the Jewish Temple. God avenges the death of His servants.

[@tyronecox5976]

When people near their death they begin to think of their loved ones more and more. It's possible that on his death bed Titus was referring to giving leniency to his brother Domitian but it's also possible that he was referring to Berenice. He loved Berenice a lot and only sent her away because he feared what people thought about his relationship with her. However, near his death, he realized that his reign had been relatively successful and that the people would've most likely tolerated his love for Berenice. He probably regretted sending her away and considered that his life's "...one mistake."

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your channel. I just discovered this video and I'm going to binge watch your videos later! If I may say so, in a point of constructive criticism, I would like to make a small suggestion that would bring a big improvement in the audio segment so it would be on the same level with your great work on the visuals. I would suggest buying a condenser microphone and a pop filter, record your audio in a room with less reverb and use a compressor on the audio file (you can find it on literally any audio processing program - try reaper which is free btw). Thank you again for your awesome work!

[@SNP-1999]

One of my favourite Roman emperors, only a damned shame that his reign was cut so short by his untimely demise. Despite his brother Domitianus being a somewhat inscrutable individual with excessive ambitions, I personally do not believe that he poisoned Titus, as has been speculated in various histories, but in the end we will never know. Fact is that Titus' death was deeply regretted by Roman society and was a great loss for the empire. Domitianus has been seen with more benign eyes in more recent biographies, but that is another story altogether.

[@latinmasschoir5581]

Amazing how a man, who was only the emperor for 2 years, is so well known and well respected some 2000 years later.

[@MatteoAdler]

Yessss new video!!!!! As always big up for the biographical video on one of my favorite Emperor. Titus in my opinion was a daring and bold warrior he carried out lots of impavid feats with few trusted cavalry during the Galilee campaign during the siege of Iafa, Yodfat and the bloody battle of Tarichea and was benevolent to the people of Jish. But we can't forget that he was also very brutal when he needed to restore order (the terrible siege of Jerusalem) He ruled for just few years i believe he really acted in the highest interests of the Empire to preserve it from turbulence and to secure the new dynasty, i tend to agree with conspiracy theories on the subject of his death...Domitian was not to be trusted. An interesting event during his reign was the incredible False Nero revolt a guy who looked and acted like Nero gained support in Asia and tried to rule using Nero politics lol eagerly waiting for the last Flavian video!!!

[@TheSPQRHistorian]

Hey Matt! Who really knows how Titus would evolve if he had ruled for longer. I mean he had his violent tendencies and a lot of the worst emperors might have had a way better reputation if they had died before becoming monsters. 😅 The False Nero thing, just goes to show you the perspective we have of Nero is very tainted by the senatorial class the common people loved him

[@Teshub]

@@TheSPQRHistorian Domitian's rule was marked by paranoia. Domitian reminds me of another historic character: perhaps he was a bit like a Roman "Aethelwold," brother of King Alfred and uncle of King Edward, Alfred's son, who also lingered out of mercy, but who was ultimately much less successful.

[@Joorum]

@@TheSPQRHistorian Always wondered how the Romans responded to the Vesuvius eruption crisis. I wouldn't have thought the emperor would actually visit the site and fund relief efforts. My impression of a typical Roman emperor was this aloof, self-centered tyrant who couldn't care less about actually being a real leader. But it's now clear to me why the Flavians triumphed in the civil war, because that was exactly the kind of behaviour the usurpers Otho and Vitellius were displaying in Rome in 69 A.D.

[@TheSPQRHistorian]

Yeah, In my impression they become more aloof and dominating the further we go in the chronology, during Augustus, Tiberius etc it was sort of a veiled monarchy so they had to play nice and keep up the appearance of a republic. The 'bad' emperors played that game the worst, they didn't cooperate with the senate. Titus brother Domitian is a really good example of a 'bad' emperor, he probably had the worst reputation, during ancient times, of all the emperors - Stay tuned for that :)

[@RPGmodsFan]

Most people on their death beds think of their loved ones. My speculation is that the "My one mistake" that Titus was referring to is not marrying the love of his life. Bernice perhaps?

[@SandyRiverBlue]

Vespasian wasn't just proclaimed emperor. He made sure that they would proclaim him emperor by placing the North African bread basket under his protection which resulted in bread riots and the fall of his predecessor (he was already on his way out though, only an idiot billets his troops in civilians houses and then dies nothing as they pillage the capital). Also, every other pretender to the throne marched on Rome, Vespasian was the only one to realize that he could take Rome by going in the opposite direction.

[@philipberthiaume2314]

It is very important to note that the revival of the imperial cult was the precursor for early christianity. Titus, the son, Vespasian, the father. It would be around this time that the gospels were written, in greek, based on Josephus Flavius' accounts of Vespasian's life experiences. This was an effort that culminated in the creation of Jesus, a very forgiving figure who honoured Rome by giving unto Caesar what is Caesar's etc.etc. This in an effort to passify Judean agression, which worked incredibly well and would later serve political needs so effectively that religion replaced armies to keep civil order and obedience with Constantive adopting christianity as the only state religion.

[@TheSPQRHistorian]

Different Titus. During the later years of the French Revolution, many fashionable young men and women of the upper and middle classes began to cut their hair short. It was called the Titus haircut, or coiffure à la Titus. The name is a reference to Titus Junius Brutus, the elder son of Lucius Junius Brutus, who founded the Roman Republic in 509 BC by famously overthrowing the Roman monarchy.

[@stefanschleps8758]

You guys did an outstanding job. I never heard just how many died before Vespasian. That was convoluted. Titus last words are difficult to discern since I know almost nothing about his life and how he thought. But my guess is that he was lamenting something of a philosophical nature. Perhaps that he had no children? Or that he failed to marry the woman he loved, which is my guess. But it could be something else, something mundane. Or some civic work upon which he wished to embark but didn't find time. For my money it is sending his lover away that bothered him. Perhaps he wanted children with her?

The SPQR Historian also there was a lot of other things surrounding it. Septimius Severius and three others declaring themselves emperor, and the absolute gaul (lol) of the praetorian guard. You sell something just to resent the man for buying it. There was quite a bit of drama, tragedy, greed, and folly in those 66 days, ending with the execution of Pertinaxs assassins.

[@TheSPQRHistorian]

Could very well be, our surviving sources explicitly says that Titus didn't sanction the sacking of the Temple

[@PeterGregoryKelly]

But the destruction of the temple sent Israelites out of Judea as refugees including all the small sects infecting the empire with their cults instead of remaining obscure cults in the levant. The first gospel (Mark) was written after the temple destruction. The gospels even spin the temple as a corrupt den of money changers as though to say "who needs them anyway" and the story of Jesus with the fig tree may have been a way of saying that temple (allegorised by a fig tree) was "out of season" and of course will not bare any more fruit.

[@PeterGregoryKelly]

The destruction of the temple was like smashing a glass bottle with a hammer and with the splinters going everywhere and infecting the person swinging the hammer. Infecting with religious memes not agreeable with the existing pagan memes. A sort of karma. Christianity might today be nothing without the temple being destroyed.

[@ericbooth3393]

@Anthony O Why wouldn’t he take the Triumph even if he wasn’t proud of his war with the Jews? To have a Triumph in Rome was an honour not many Romans experienced. I don’t know anything about Titus but that would be my guess

@Anthony O For some reason I read your comment wrong, I thought you wrote “triumph” rather then the “ark of Titus”. But my point still remains the same, notoriety and popularity were important to the emperors. Assuming Titus did not want the jews destroyed (no idea if it’s true or not) why would he not take the rewards granted to him by the Senate? You’d be a fool not to, especially if you were an ambitious politician.

Titus was quite different from Tiberius as Tiberius was a person prone to depression. Tiberius had to renounce the woman he loved at the command of Cesar and I think that set the course for the rest of his life. Titus was much more upbeat.

@@passionforbiblicaltruth8288 Titus had violent and scheming tendencies which he displayed during Vespasian's reign.

[@yournameshere]

As they say, absolute power corrupts absolutely. This was the nature of the position of Emporer of Rome. Such a position naturally centers all animosity, envy, jealousy, blame, conspiracy, love, hate, etc., towards the single individual. It is the price one must pay to have absolute power. If we consider dictators throughout history, the story is similar for most. Every once in a while the variables will randomly align for a ruler with absolute power to be loved by all factions. Only in this condition, and if they are inherently good people, will their absolute power not corrupt absolutely.

[@maz3563]

Without hardly a doubt, a 41 year old noble wouldn’t get “sick” by any disease all by himself and die on the spot. Therefore, the only conclusion is that he was poisoned and the only possible suspect was his ambitious brother, no rocket science here. So, that’s the only mistake he might have been referring to. While one shouldn’t murder a brother to secure your throne, one certainly hang him if there’s proof of treason, brother or no brother, because the only penalty for that is death. So, I would say that he actually made two mistakes, not executing his treasonous brother, and not learning a valuable lesson that cost his best friend life by Agrippina, who happens to be a long lost relative of Billary. 😂

Titus was talking about dumping Berenice from a romantic point of view. However, from a pragmatic point of view he realised he should have killed his brother.

I dont thin domiatian killed his brother. A lot of people think that but it most likely not true.

His father suffered also from that sickness and so did he. When he died during dinner Nero and Aprippina didn't move or where choked. If they would have killed them they would have acted that they would be chocked. Britannicus had most likely a epelepsie attack and he died of that. Because he had this attacks quite often Nero and his mother didn't do anything because they thought it will go over in a miniut like it does every time

What do you mean he even drank from the same cup as Britannicus out of sympathy?? He drank it after he died?? I thought they weren’t sure it was a poisoning? And why would he attempt to kill himself? I would assume he drank from it by accident…?

Aka Jesus Christ the superstar

[@jamesmatters3905]

Bigger men then you have doubted Josephus and were wrong, and where you place the temple was wrong as well

[@user-pz1bc9bc6o]

It was the Partian girl he was in love with but he sent her away when he gave in to the pressure of the aristocrats, he should of gave up the vanity to rule for Love , he wouldn't got poisoned... afterwards, He knew he screwed up.

My name is Titus to let’s go

[@kaml284]

to be honest, I kinda doubt it was Domitian, most of what he did as an emperor was decent. The senate took a lot of effort to make him look bad because he snubbed them so much.

[@GNBcorporal]

He left the stove on

[@countravid3768]

I suppose Titus would have finished his speech with a one liner like. I have made one mistake in my life, I should have kept that food in the microwave longer. But in all seriousness it could be his regrets of not having a son or pushing his lover away, maybe remorse for a man he wrongly convicted. Or maybe he pooped himself in his bed before he died.

[@stratagos4610]

In his last words, it might that he hadn't taken action against his brother or maybe that he had to give up his eastern wife

[@Randomname8383]

His mistake: not finishing the job in Judea

[@steveblomefield9513]

The mistake obviously was to not execute Domitian. he felt the poison robbing him of life and knew it was domitian.

[@jabronisauce6833]

Titus the fool.

[@othellosmalley2729]

He may have been talking about his brother, but it could have been about sacking the Lord's temple 🕍 yes I know he was a pagan but many leaders in the past didn't serve Israel's God but recognized he was real, enjoyed the video that's just my theory 🤔

[@Insectoid_]

Such A shame he was poisoned

[@williambrewer]

His mistake: He allowed worship of himself as a god.

[@garysims2029]

I'll tell you what from what I have seen through these videos a Roman emperor is what I would want to he last if someone isn't trying to poison me theree a rebellion somewhere then the praetorian guard need a daily hand job from me just to make sure they do thier job or a general somewhere trying to overthrow me all while tryna keep the people happy. Fuck all that I'd settle for a blacksmith or a scribe

[@paulgeorge1144]

His one mistake was destroying the Jewish Temple which led to the institution of Christianity

[@TheSPQRHistorian]

Yeah true, our sources explicitly write that burning the temple was not sanctioned by Titus, it was his troops that took matters into their own hands

[@paulgeorge1144]

@Anthony O The book called the Acts of the Apostles is a religious text and has very little value as an historical source. It contains numerous errors, contradictions and tales of miracles and is not corroborated by contemporary sources including Paul. Its purpose was to back date the origins of Christianity which is consistent with the invention of religions generally. A similar work going under the name of the Acts of Paul and Thecla was written in the second century and called out by the church father Tertullian as a pious fiction.

[@paulgeorge1144]

@Anthony O Is it not conceivable that the apostles were in Jerusalem after AD70? Not all Jews were killed by Titus. The city never ceased to be inhabited by Jews until Hadrian.

[@andrewkappler5503]

I agree with others don't think it's domitian his regret was sending his wife away
