the Roman emporer, the son of Vespasian; of whom it is related, that not being able to recollect any remarkable good action he had done on a certain day, he exclaimed, "I have lost a day!" He might truly be called the father of his people; and though Rome laboured under various public calamities during his reign, such was his equitable and mild administration, that he constantly preserved its popularity. He was a great lover of learning, and composed several poems. He reigned but two years; and it is thought Domitian his brother poisoned him, A.D. 81, aged 41. See (History of) ROME.
