Titus (Artistic Facial Reconstruction) — View Full-Size Image

Titus (r. 79-81 CE) was the son of Vespasian (r. 69-79 CE). Prior to becoming emperor, Titus was a commander in the Roman-Jewish War (66-73 CE). His forces sacked Jerusalem in 70 CE, tearing down the city walls and destroying the Second Temple of Jerusalem. After the death of Vespasian, Titus proved to be a capable and popular Roman emperor.

Pictured alongside the reconstruction are the artworks and statuary used as references. From left to right and top to bottom, these are the National Archaeological Museum of Naples bust; Archaeological Museum Théo Desplans bust; the British Museum bust; and a coin portrait of Titus.
