Vespasian (Titus Flavius Domitianus; 9-79) was the ninth Roman Emperor, and the first of the Flavian dynasty. He reigned from 69 to 79.

Vespasian in ancient sources

Vespasian led the Roman army in the initial stages of the Jewish War, crashed the Jewish resistance in Galilee (where he captured Josephus), and besieged Jerusalem. When he became emperor in 69, he left the command to his son Titus, who finished the job, by conquering Jerusalem. According to Eusebius, Vespasian ordered all descendants of the royal line of David to be hunted down, causing the Jews to be persecuted from province to province. What we know from Josephus and Suetonius is that Vespasian eagerly applied to himself the prophecy about a king rising to power "from the sun (=the East)".
