Ask the Chatbot a Question Top Questions Who was Titus? What did Titus do? Titus commanded a Roman legion in Judaea. In 70 CE he led a campaign that culminated in the capture and destruction of Jerusalem. Titus became the Roman emperor in 79. He completed construction of the Flavian Amphitheatre, better known as the Colosseum and opened it with ceremonies lasting more than 100 days. What was Titus’s family like? Titus’s father was the Roman emperor Vespesian. After Titus died in 81 CE, his brother Domitian became emperor. Titus married twice, but his first wife died, and he divorced the second soon after the birth (c. 65) of his only child, a daughter, Flavia Julia, to whom he accorded the title Augusta.
