"The Lives of the Twelve Caesars, Volume 11: Titus" by Suetonius is a historical account probably written in the early 2nd century AD. This volume focuses specifically on the life and reign of Emperor Titus, a notable figure in Roman history known for his military achievements and later, his governance of the empire. The work falls under the category of biography and serves as an exploration of Titus's character, reign, and notable events during his time. The biography portrays Titus as a complex individual, initially viewed with skepticism due to his luxurious lifestyle and rumored cruelties. However, after ascending to the throne, he demonstrates a remarkable transformation, showcasing virtues such as benevolence and humanity. He earns the affection of the populace through his generous acts, public spectacles, and his deft handling of crises, such as the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the devastating fire in Rome. Despite facing opposition and the burden of his family's legacy, his reign is marked by significant reforms and a genuine concern for the welfare of his citizens until his untimely death at the age of 41, leaving a legacy that was ultimately respected and mourned.
