Vespasian and his son Titus were responsible for the destruction of Judea in 70 AD.

EDIT: I didn't know about this until a couple months ago.

When I see Vespasian I think of some slimmy creature with tentacles that swims in the ocean. :)

BTW could someone help with a Winamp problem in Software. . .

I think you should change your username to: "King of the Observant"

Befitting is in the eye of the beholder, one would think. How did you come to choose it?

<< Vespasian in Swahili means whiner. >>



I thought it was "Tragedy Queen"


It seems I need to brush up on my Swahili...

I thought some people would find it at least slightly amusing (considering that many people here call me an Israeli apologist) that I didn't know that Vespasian was emperor of Rome when the Jewish state was destroyed. I should have known better. :eek::eek:

EDIT: I meant that I should have known better what kind of response I would get.

Yeah right just like calling yourself Adolf would be amusing.
