Life of Emperor Vespasian #9 - The Citizens Emperor, Roman History Documentary Series

im glad im n0t a CHRISTIAN

Vespasian: (to his son at Jerusalem) as an emperor, do your thing.

Vespasian at Rome: you piss, you pay

Vespasian and I have the same birthday...wild

63 AD
The Senate: Okay, Vespasian. You get to be Proconsul of Africa. Go and enrich yourself.
Vespasian: No, I'll make friends.
Senate: It won't benefit you...

6 years later:
Vespasian: See Senate? The real claim to power was the friends I made along the way.

Vespasian actually came west To what is now Wales he did not go to Cornwall. there are many stones marked Legit11 Augusta right across South Wales , there are many Burials of the Legit11 and Legit IX between Margam and Bontfaen ( Cowbridge) the Major roads to the West were done first, along the Celtic Tribal roads, much of your information is questionable, here we have the Archaeological proof, across South Wales there were 62 Forts and 16 Roman major and minor Towns from Isca Augusta ( Caerleon) to Isca Panelus ( Pembroke), there had been Contact before Julius Caesar arrived nearly 80 years earlier, and for Centuries before that in History from Greeks and Etruscan ships. the Tribes were known.

And yet I still believe he I Underrated and gets virtually omitted amongst talk of Rome's VERY good and great emperors

For some reason, he always reminds me of Oliver Cromwell - painted warts and all. Vespasian also had a bluff, no-nonsense approach that rejected all that Neronian excess. Some call him a 'bourgeois' emperor.

Ave Divus Vespanianus!

thank you

Also Nero foolishly killed his best general shortly before the revolt so he didn't have many options at the time.

For a wonderful novel about the era of Nero and rise of Vespasian, read The Roman by Finnish author Mika Waltari.

Probably my favorite emperor, what an amazing life!!!!

He was a very good emperor besides some facts

I like your videos but, I can only understand about 70% of what your are saying.

One of my favourite Emperors

it seems that this Emperor is more like a dad who cracks dad jokes at times just to prove a point.

Excellent video. Although I hoped that you would mention the, to us quite hilarious, reason for his death: excessive diarrhea! It must've been one of the "smelliest" deathbeds of any Roman emperors.

He probably started snoring at one Nero’s concerts🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I tried to watch this all the way through. I'm sorry though. The guy speaking pits you to sleep too much. There is nothing exciting or anything animated in his speaking voice. I've never been so bored or been unable to stay focused like this video. FIX IT BITCH! 😡

Did Vespasian occupied all the positions on the curus honorum including the Tribune? If so, then he would have a lot of experience and could be consider as a competent administrator and knew that having friends in all places was better than only having power and the money. Additionally,his early military achievements showed that he could lead in battles.

i found one of his coins in a field in alderton in 2004 a silver denarius its one of my most treasured possession's

Great videos!!! I hope you can also make a video about the Batavians who rebelled during the year of the four emperors because of the troubles caused by this Roman civil war, this was called the Batavian Revolt.

What is it with "muleteers" being good generals for Rome? One of Marcus Antonius' generals was "muleteer" by the name of Publius Ventudius. He beat back a Parthians invasion of Syria and Asia Minor, and did it so well (so I have read) that he had basically ended the Parthians threat.

I have to say u diserve way more vieuws like 2000000, your doing good work dont give up

Very funny is that If Nero had act better in 68 he could have send vespassian to Spain to defeat the rebellion and win the civil war. He then could have adopped TItus and Dominatian as succerors because he had no sons.

Vespassian was one of the best emperors

That creation of the Jesus Christ figure was also a pretty big accomplishment😁

The byzantine Empire never existed, it was always the Roman Empire.

If you like reading and are interested in Vespasian. Try the books of Robert Fabbri. Amazing books.

great work! I love this

It is my conviction that most if not all we know about Caligula and Nero is made up BS by the Flavians,who knows maybe they even planned a coup against the Julio Claudians from the get go with the help of the elite,the reason could've been to put an end to the fair economic/social system promoted by the former Dynasty,give bread and circuses to the free population and the Gospels to the slave population,and voila.

The muleteer did good. Didn't know about the mistress. A lot of the provincial governerships were effectively put up for auction. At the very least you would have to do some expensive lobbying. I'm more inclined to think his appointment was a move by Agrippina to first sideline and then eliminate him.

Here, smell this coin 🪙

Fuck Vespasian!!!
