Vespasian, 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.

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'.

@@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.

I was about to point out that Corn (19:31) is native to Mexico and as such wouldn't be in Europe for over 1,000 years; it turns out, as a stupid American, I did not know that the etymology of Corn comes from Proto-Indo-European languages as a general word for grain (or even granular non-carbohydrates like "Salt Corns" or "Pepper Corns"). 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. A very well researched and accurate documentary by people who actually know how to speak their own language! Unlike me!

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!"

Yes, a wonderful job. Too bad that there wasn’t space to discuss briefly another of his benefactors: the extremely powerful and powerful Antonia ( the Younger) I believe. Claudius mother’? Among all her other relations in the Imperial family. Anyway, Vespasian’s “concubine” for decades, before and after his marriage, was one of Antonia’s freedwomen, possibly Antonia’s matchmaking. She was Titus and Domition’s stepmother, and did raise them and was publicly acknowledged as Vespasian’s wife. They couldn’t marry because of class distinctions.

There is an amazing series of books written by Robert Fabbri on Vespasian's life from his youth as a soldier and friend of a teenager Caligula to his ascension as Emperor. It's pretty curious the way the author describes how Vespasian and his family had an important role i Rome's most important events even before the ascension of the Flavians, like the end of Sejanus' reign of terror, the crucifixion of Christ, the victories of Claudius' military campaigns, etc. His war against the jews was also depicted in the docu-series "Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire".

I never heard about Vespasian until I watched the 1981 miniseries Masada. There’s a brief scene when the main character of the show played by Peter O’Toole meets Vespasian played by Timothy West. One of many great parts of the miniseries. Highly recommended if you haven’t seen it.

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.

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.

Thank you for producing this. I've found Vespasian to be an intriguing man but found little on him.

What an absolutely fabulous documentary! I was already a fan of Vespasian but the details and drama of this video carried me along with the career and rise of this man.

Thank you for a very entertaining and informative Documentary filled with absolutely great quotes , i had no idea about Vespasian being emperor his journey to get there and how he ultimately set Rome to prosper , the Fact that riches from Judea provided the funds to build the Colosseum leaves this Italian very happy indeed

I would recommend Michael Parenti's 'The Assassination of Julius Caesar' for anyone wanting to know the social/political moving parts in Rome in the 60 years leading to the murder.

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.
