'''Titus''' (''Titus Flavius Vespasianus''; 39-81) was the tenth Roman Emperor, from 79 to 81.
==Overview==
Titus was the second ruler of the Flavian dinasty. He reigned from 79 (after [[:Category:Vespasian (subject)|Vespasian]]) to 81 (followed by [[:Category:Domitian (subject)|Domitian]]).
====Titus and the Jews====
After his father [[Vespasian]] became Emperor in 69, Titus led the Roman army during the last phases of the Jewish War. He conquered Jerusalem, and spoiled and destroyed its Temple. The Arch of Titus was built in Rome to celebrate the event and Titus' triumph.
During the campaign in Judea, Titus befriended the Jewish historian [[Josephus]], to whom he granted freedom and his own name. Titus also carried a controversial relationship with the Jewish Queen [[Berenice]], who for some time (around 75) even lived in the imperial palace in Rome as his promised wife.
