Born From The Year Of The Four Emperors

Vespasian was the fourth and final emperor to reign during Rome's infamous "Year of the Four Emperors" who all briefly reigned at some point during A.D. 69 following the suicide of emperor Nero. During his reign, Vespasian enacted fiscal reforms, consolidated the empire, and generated political stability through a vast building program. Vespasian also restored the wreckage of Rome's finances left behind by Nero's wasteful reign, restored discipline in the army, and ensured the succession of his sons Titus and Domitian. It was also during Vespasian's reign that construction on the Colosseum began in Rome financed with spoils taken from his conquest of Jerusalem. Despite all these accomplishments, Vespasian is perhaps most famous for introducing the pay toilet to the streets and bath houses of Rome. When his son Titus expressed disgust at the idea of making money from human waste, Vespasian is said to have replied, "Pecunia non olet," a Latin phrase that translates to "money does not stink."
