2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡVespasian, one of the Roman Empire's finest emperors remains largely unknown, yet his reign in 1st century AD transitioned a weakening Empire into a period of stability and growth that was the legacy of the other great emperors Trajan, Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius and Septimius Severus. Vespasian ultimately saved Rome from disaster and made possible the Golden Age of the 2nd century AD.

Great job. I like the editing style where you use clips of modern day Rome interwoven with clips of the ruins. It doesn't matter that the people we're seeing are sitting in restaurants, getting on buses, driving scooters, etc. The way you've edited it, it still gives the feeling that we're watching Roman people from 2000 years ago because of the narration that goes along with it, and the very timely interspersion of the ruins. It works! And the guy you got to play Vespasian himself.... perfect!

One thing that has always perplexed me is that Nerva (who came after Vespasian, Titus and Domitian) was considered the first of the five good emperors (a term coined by machiavelli) yet Vespasian should also be included in such a list of good emperors.
@dimethaltryptamine1 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Well it was Machiavelli who came up with the list remember hahahaha
@indyrock8148 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Nerva benefited from inheriting a perfected tyrant beurocracy and was from the senatorial class. Further, the traditional aristocracy had been 'refreshed' by Gaius, Nero and Cladius. The hard work was done and Nerva was from the right team. All he had to do was not implement a 'reign of terror'.
@faustusliviuspraetextatus6773 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ

@@indyrock8148 I was considering the resources that were available to Machiavelli when he coined the term "five good emperor". Without the benefit of modern historical resources, Machiavelli would surely be led to think that Domitian was not that great. Today we know that things are not so simple, but alas, the term "five good emperors" is already ingrained. I also believe that the classification "five good emperors" was also made because Machiavelli was trying to make a point regarding adoption, so even if Domitian was indeed a good emperor, I don't think Machiavelli would still include him in the list.

Saw a documentary about Vespasian. He was probably the last true Roman. He served in many positions in ruling Roman provinces and through his honesty and skills, increased the taxation needed for the Empire. In fact, he grew financially poorer from these posts. Under Nero, he never, ever presented a threat to him, and Nero left him alone, as he felt the threats to his Throne came from many other sources and there were many. No one thought a "Mule breeder" was royal enough to be an Emperor. But what happened was that the Parthian Empire started military attacks on the Asian provinces of the Roman Empire. The Roman General, Corbo, stopped and reversed these advances. But Nero felt that Corbo was a threat to him and ordered him to commit suicide, which he did. Then the Jewish Revolt in Palestine started and Nero had no competent Generals to put it down. Except for Vespasian and his son, Titus. The rest is History.
@michaelmelamed9103 4 ΠΌΡΡΡΡΡ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
The Jewish revolts did not start in Palestine, but in the province of Judaea. The Romans renamed the province Syria-Palaestina in 135 CE, after stamping out the second rebellion, as a punishment, to obliterate the link between the Judaei and the province. Nero died in 68 CE.

I'll tell you an anecdote of the Emperor Vespasian. In Italy the name "Vespasiano", in addition to being the name of the great emperor who remembers history, is also synonymous with "public bath" as it was Vespasian who invented the road baths where the urine of travelers was collected and later sold to color the fabrics. One day his son Tito said to Vespasiano: Daddy, it's disgusting to collect urine! And he replied in Latin "Pecunia non olet", or "money has no smell!"

It later was widely adopted to describe what is more accurately described as Maize, as we normally think of Corn in the US. I'll just leave this here in case anybody who doesn't do their research first wants to try and show off.

Nice piece I learned many things I wasnβt aware! In return I like to tell you about the famous (for lawyers at least) Latin quote βnon oletβ (doesnβt smell). According to common lore, Vespasianβs son Tito was arguing with his father about the undignified origin, of the money from the tax on the urine (collected to make ammonia for leather making), allegedly Vespasiano took some coins to his nose and said βnon oletβ that is it doesnβt stink. Actually this connection effected Italian colture at least for us boomers, βgoing to the Vespasianoβ meant going to those public toilets available in large cities.
@tonylast9181 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Vespasian was an excellent general too. He commanded the 2nd Augusta in the invasion of Britain in 43AD and was in charge of the campaign in the west of the country.

I love Emperor Vespasian, he's a top 6 or 7 emperor of Rome for me. He was an incredible military leader in the Jewish rebellions and cleaned up the empire after Nero almost bankrupted it Edit: He also used the spoils of war to build the Flavian Amphitheater (the Roman Colosseum)

Thank you, UKposts algorithm! One of Rome's most underrated emperors, yet the one who "saved" the Empire after a series of Claudio-Julian disasters whose end culminated in 3 "blink and you'll miss them" tools. Without him, I doubt there would have been a period of "5 good emperors" that authors like Gibbons loved to crow about.

@@anarchistatheist1917 I would agree. Women and freedmen.
