 Vespasian, and in this capacity
Titus became the conqueror of
Jerusalem in September of AD 70.

Titus' brother
Domitian, who might or
might not have helped Titus onto his trip to the next world,
became emperor after his death.

brother's victory over the Jews and the thorough destruction
of Jerusalem.
