The Roman Flavian Dynasty consisted of the reigns of emperors like Vespasian, his two sons, and Domitian. It followed the Year of the Four Emperors and lasted from 69 to 96 AD. The civil war of 69 was what gave rise to the Flavian Dynasty, with several battles following soon after. While it didn’t last that long, this dynasty has some of the most significant and far-reaching military campaigns in the history of the Roman Empire.
The most important military event of the Flavian Dynasty was probably the siege of Jerusalem and then the destruction of the city under Titus in the year 70 AD. This was followed by major conquests within Great Britain. Under the reign of Domitian, the military campaigns were most defensive as the Emperor was not in favor of expansion through warfare.
