Life of Emperor Titus #10 - The Good Emperor, Roman History Documentary Series

Emperor Titus was the first emperor to succeed his biological father on the imperial throne. He is considered to be one of the few good emperors. His short reign is best remembered for the opening of the Flavian Amphitheater(Colosseum) in Rome and the eruption on Mount. Vesuvius which lead the devastation of the bay of Naples.

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."

Small mistake at 10:23. The baths highlighted are the Baths of Trajan not the Baths of Titus. The Baths of Titus are a lot smaller and located between the Trajan Baths and the Colosseum.

This is the best video in the series. It's been awesome to see overall quality improve with each one you release. Love your work as always man!

I know it was you, Domitian. You broke my heart. You broke my heart.

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.

Thanks so much, I learned something new. Vespasian's last words were a joke, "I guess I'm becoming a god". I was never sure what that meant until now.

Hope this channel grows like all the famous history channels before, great work

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

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!

Yessss new 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!!!

THE MISTAKE - to sent his LOVE of his LIFE away. I think he realized that an Emperor without Love, is nothing...

[TetsuShima]

Titus: "Now that I've become Emperor, I shall give the best of me in order to honor my father's memory. I will make Rome more big and magnificent than ever, and my reign will be remembered for eternity. No one will stop me. No one..."

In his last words. I suspect he knew he had been poisoned by Domitian. And that he hadn’t had him executed when he learned he had been plotting against him.

Thank you for the video, you helped me a lot with my assignment. Very nice

[nickanderson]

100% leaving his brother alive was his one mistake. Loving the videos. Keep it up!!!

[mmaphilosophy]

Just came across this channel and I absolutely love it. I've just got done listening to Mike Duncans history of Rome which was brilliantly done but loads of inaccuracies.
So to find this with all facts is great

I am in love with these series. You've earned a subscriber. Keep it up

[andrewaustin]

Titus probably regretted letting Domitian off the hook. That seems the most likely answer.

[magicegg]

Thanks for the video . My name is Titus so thought I'd give it a watch

[Joorum]

Your best video yet. Very well done and easy to follow.
