VES 21 — **The Last Man Standing**
from Life Of Caesar Hosted by Cameron Reilly & Ray Harris
Picking up where we left off, Vespasian is finally making his way back to Rome and apparently every city he passes through absolutely loses its mind with joy — which Josephus reports with the completely unbiased objectivity you'd expect from a man who literally changed his name to Flavian. Meanwhile Domitian, aged 19, is talking a big game about personally crushing the Batavian revolt until Mucianus very firmly tells him to go back to his room. The Senate is relieved, the crowds pour out of Rome to greet Vespasian on the road, and Josephus assures us the city immediately grew into a state of great prosperity. Roman politics at its finest.
