Mostly known in Rome because he introduced public toilets throughout the city. You barely find one around today, but they were there until my youth in the 70's and early 80's and were known as "Vespasiani".

Vespasian was a breadth of fresh air after the arbitrariness and madness of Nero. It was a great achievement that he was able to fall asleep during a Nero performance an not get killed over it as happed to others

the muleteer who became emporer.

From mule breeder to emperor should be the fitting title

Amazing how important the flavians are, yet little know of them, their deeds, and impact. They are generally glossed over between the Julio-Claudias and the Nerva-Antonine dynasties. Real shame. Two cheers to the Messiah haha

One of the greatest Romans of them all. Fascinating story on his rise to power.

An amazing video on a Roman emperor who stands out as one of the best that ever wore the purple.

When the Romans took him prisoner, Joseph (Flavius) demanded a meeting with Vespasian. When the meeting took place, Joseph greeted Vespasian with the greeting "Hail, future emperor!". It was the year 67, the year of the four emperors. Vespasian was soon proclaimed emperor and slew his rival. Isn't it strange that the leader of the Jewish revolt knew about the plans to appoint Vespasian as emperor?

Amazing documentary about Vespasian. The General who became the Emperor. Tnx4sharing.

Excellent documentary, as always. Thanks!

From humble beginnings, through a roller coaster ride in his career which included breeding mules to make a living to a former Jewish zealot who predicted he would become Emperor, at the end of Vespasian's life he could say what the Grateful Dead are known for; "what a long strange trip its been"

Excellent

Vespasian was a very good emperor.

Vespasian: Heavily contributes in the conquest of Britain, successfully leades the suppression of the first Jewish rebellion with his son, ends the period of the brief emperors and manages the Empire with wisdom and efficiency Also Vespasian: Dies from pooping too much

Πολύ ωραίο ντοκιμαντέρ,νομίζω πως ο Βεσπασιανός είναι στους 5 καλύτερους ηγέτες της αρχαίας Ρώμης,αφού επέκτεινε τα σύνορα,έφερε ειρήνη στην Ρώμη και έφτιαξε το αμφιθέατρο(Κολοσσαίο)εδώ να πούμε πως το αμφιθέατρο το έφτιαξε για να παίζονται θεατρικά έργα και όχι για αγώνες μονομάχων και ζώων,αυτό το έκανε ο γιος του Τίτος..όπως και να έχει φαίνεται πως είχε άστρο και σίγουρα θα υπήρχαν σκοτεινά σημεία που τα οποία τα καλύπτει το φώς.

Vespasian a man of made of granite !!!💪🏻

Great video. Of all the "what if" of the roman times, what could have been of the empire if Titus lived as long as his father... one can only wonder.

Vespasian is only behind Claudius and Augustus for being my favorite emperor of the Principate.

I love listening to your videos at night, your voice is so calming. It literally helps me fall asleep 😊

Most informative video about Roman Empire history rather than the history of the lives of an Emporor Vespasian...thank you ( the people profile) channel for sharing these amazing historical products.....he was a great emperors of Roman empire history.

I think Vespasian was a good emperor

Sounds like best of Emperors.

Very professional work.

He is at the top 3 emperors in the first century: 1 - Augustus 2 - Vespasian 3 - Claudius

The fact that Nero was very much loved in the coty of Rome, but pretty much despised by his governors - who rose immediately to depose him (and none of them to defend him) paints in my mind a picture of still not a good emperor, but a mere populist who ruined the empire but was buying the citizens or inhabitants of Rome with outlandish privledges for fear of being deposed. Something the modern Greek governments are known for.

The videos on this channel are always excellent! I've come across it only a while ago but this for example is a subject i already knew a lot about and can say you really pack a lot of high quality information in that video and as always manage to make the bigger context understandable to the viewer: All the different actors, regions, individual problems, ambitions, reasons for and consequences of the events that happened.

ER, a Note -Cyrenaica was not Libya, but was part of what is Libya today!-At the time Vespasian was a quaestor, Cyrenaica[Northwest Libya] and the island of Crete[now part of Greece] were two parts of one provice].

Thx. An excellent presentation.

Vespy is lucky Caesar didn’t just wipe out his grandpa.

Vaspasian was by the lack of words a product of his time and the situations that was happening in those times

Beautiful and thoughtful choosen music (in the end)

A fascinating history especially the role he played in the destruction of the Temple all be it vicariously by Titus and subsequent diaspora of the Jewish people .

I believe that Vespasian was the Roman Emperor described in Daniel and Revelation as "the 11th horn of the 4th beast-nation, before whom 3 horns were uprooted and fell" (The Year of The 4 Roman Emperors). The horn that looked more imposing than the others, spoke boastfully and waged war against the Judeans for 3.5 years and defeated them" (Daniel 7:7-25, Revelation 13:1-10).

His propaganda about his Origins certainly explains my family's crest

Byzantine emperor documentaries would be amazing!

What is the music that plays in the ending credits? It's beautiful!

He looked good!

Good timing.

You can’t really say his policies were just out of anti-semitism. Anti-semitism as we seen it in the 20th February, targeted people out of hate of the Jewish people. Vespasian was stopping a rebellion. This wasn’t just significant to only Judea. Rome has a lengthy history of brutality and taxation of tribes who rebel against their rule.

Lots hail Trajan or Marcus Aurelio as the best roman emperor. I believe it is vespesian by far

Would be amazing if you can make a documentary about the Year of the 5 Emperors and The Batavian Revolt. Vespasian asked Claudius Civilis the leader of the Batavians to start a revolt during the Year of 5 Emperors. Julius Civilis had fought together in Britain earlier with Vespasian. Julius Civilis started the revolt in name of Vespasian but in fact started a real revolt against the Romans for the harm the Roman civil war caused the Batavians.

Please can you do one on Elagabulus??...I've just came across his name and he is certainly unusual to say the least.

Why does thumbnail Vespasian like Hank Schrader from Breaking Bad

There is on thought I would like to share with you: Vespasian committed one „crime“ in giving a bad example to General-Emperors of the third century and the ones to follow: exactly that he proofed the feasibility of having a large army under control AND usurping the imperial power. Not that he would have had an option - it was the right thing to do given the situation in the empire in the 60ties. In general: Not a real problem for the next 120 years to come (the good ones) - but generals of the later centuries always could follow his example with ease - and did so. Nevertheless they were far less qualified …… Anyway - the list of the „Good Emperors“ should start with him in my opinion. Domitian included!

Везувий воспроизвёл траур по Веспасиану.

😂😂😂😂

Everything in these documentaries is a completely different version from everything else. I dont know whom to trust. For an example, according to Mike Duncan, Vitellius was not plotting anything, it was the troops of Vitellius who actually forced him to declare himself emperor.

I'm sure the Romans loved him. The Jewish people had good reasons to hate him and his son.

Guy had a female Chief of Staff, who was as tough as him.

2 minutes ad? Why there you go a dislike

Seems interesting that Vespasian was know thru his life as muleteer and graffiti from Palatine hill of alexamenos. Also if Antonian dynasty is trying to wipe out Flavian dynasty worship then early persecution of Christian’s is true? Seems odd that??
