Vespasian was the Emperor of the Roman Empire from 69 to 79 AD. During his reign, he successfully led the Roman forces in the First Jewish-Roman War (66-73 AD), which resulted in the capture and destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Vespasian also faced the Batavian Rebellion (69-70 AD), led by the Batavi tribe in the Roman province of Germania Inferior, which was eventually suppressed by his general, Quintus Petillius Cerialis.
