Dear me! I must be turning into a god.
"Vespasian" was Roman Emperor from AD 69 to AD 79. Vespasian founded the Flavian dynasty that ruled the Empire for twenty seven years. Vespasian was from an Equestrian (Roman)/equestrian family that rose into the Roman senate/senatorial rank under the Julio-Claudian dynasty/Julio–Claudian emperors. Although he fulfilled the cursus honorum/standard succession of public offices, and held the Roman consul/consulship in AD 51, Vespasian's renown came from his military success: he was legatus/legate of Legio II Augusta/Legio II Augusta during the Roman invasion of Britain in 43 and subjugated Iudaea Province/Judaea during the First Jewish-Roman War/Jewish rebellion of 66.
