Natural son and heir of Emperor Vespasian, Titus (39-81 CE) was a member of the Flavian dynasty, the first Roman emperor to succeed his own biological father. Titus, like his father, had earned much renown as a military commander, especially during the First Jewish-Roman war. When his father left to claim the imperial throne after Nero's death, Titus was left behind to end the Jewish rebellion, which occurred in 70 CE with the siege and sacking of Jerusalem. The Arch of Titus was built in honour of his destruction of the city. He was also known for his controversial relationship with the Jewish queen Berenice. Under his father, her served as prefect of the Praetorian Guard, and he was known as a good emperor after his accession. As emperor, he is most endearingly known for his completion of the Colosseum, started by his father, and his efforts in relieving the destruction caused by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE and a fire in Rome in 80 CE. Titus only served for two years befo

Julius Caesar, Perpetual Dictator, from Twelve Famous Greek and Roman Men Printed 1629-1635 Flanders. Peter Paul Rubensís series of important Greek and Romans reflected the antiquarian culture in which he participated as a collector, as a scholar, and as an interpreter of Classical forms. Rubensís drawing for this engraving may in fact copy an antique sculpture bust he personally owned. Julius Caesar was one of a dozen figures he selected for the series, along with other Romans such as Caesarís assassin, Brutus, and the emperor Nero. Despite his learned appreciation for the past, Rubens misinterpreted another bust of Julius Caesar and published it as a portrait of Caesarís contemporary the writer, orator, and politician Cicero..

Saint Jerome. Etching by B. Bossi, 1754 ().

Pertinax (126-193) was born the son of a freed slave, and worked as a teacher before becoming an officer in the army. Successful campaigns against the Parthians saw him rise in rank and prestige, with Pertinax eventually rising to become a member of the Senate. Pertinax was declared emperor by the Praetorian Guard after the death of Commodus, where he immediately tried to institute several sweeping reforms. One of these reforms was the restoration of discipline amongst the pampered Praetorian Guard, making enemies that ultimately resulted in Pertinax's assassination by members of the Guard just under three months into his reign. After his death, the Praetorians auctioned off the imperial title, resulting in a brief civil war and the year 193 CE becoming known as the Year of the Five Emperors. Pertinax was later deified by Septimius Severus, the emperor after Pertinax's successor, Didius Julianus. His reputation throughout history has largely been a positive one, though his short reign
