In this episode, we discuss the early reign of the first Flavian Emperor: Vespasian. His proxy army, led by Antonius Primus, took Rome without his permission, and the situation in the capital becomes a disaster. Over the next two weeks, the capital will stabilize itself, especially when Mucianus, Vespasian's number two, enters the city.

About 96 AD
From the publisher's feed
Every second Sunday there will be a new episode about Rome around the crucial year of 96 AD, the year in which the Emperor Domitian was assassinated, and a new dynasty would bring the Roman Empire to its greatest extent.
I will cover Roman history from roughly 68 through 117 AD. We will cover in depth the reigns of the Flavian emperors Vespasian, Titus and Domitian. Then, we will cover the reigns of Nerva, Trajan and perhaps venture into Hadrian, Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius.
