| | Vespasian (Part 1) |
 | | Vespasian on the other hand had two sons, Titus and Domitian (the offspring of his late wife Flavia Domitilla the elder); and the governors now agreed that he should be their candidate for the purple. |
 | | Neither Alexander nor Mucianus could claim the throne for themselves, the former since he was a knight, not a senator — and a foreigner as well, a renegade Jew — and the latter because, lacking sons of his own, he could not form a dynasty. |
 | | On 1 July, therefore, Alexander ordered the Egyptian legions to swear an oath of allegiance to Vespasian, and by the middle of the month the armies in Judaea and Syria had done the same. |
