In this episode, Cameron is joined by historian and author **Marc Hyden** to explore the life and times of Emperor **Titus Flavius Vespasianus**. They trace the rise of the Flavian dynasty, the chaos of the Year of the Four Emperors, the Jewish-Roman War, and Titus’ surprising path to the imperial throne. The discussion dives deep into Roman religion, Jewish resistance, the messy politics of succession, and the curious parallels between Roman messianic propaganda and the early Christian gospels. It’s a lively mix of scholarship, humour, and speculation on one of Rome’s often-overlooked emperors.
