Vespasian - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | VESPASIAN, in full Titus Flavius Vespasianus, Roman emperor A.D. 70-79, was born on the 18th of November, A.D. 9, in the Sabine country near Reate. |
 | | Vespasian, who had a strong vein of superstition, was made to believe that he was himself to fulfil this expectation, and all manner of omens and oracles and portents were applied to him. |
 | | Vespasian could be liberal to impoverished senators and knights, to cities and towns desolated by natural calamity, and especially to men of letters and of the professor class, several of whom he pensioned with salaries of as much as £boo a year. |
