"The Triumph of Titus" by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema

The most notable of all the Jewish associates of Titus, of course, is the famous historian Titus Flavius Josephus.

A self-described scion of royal and priestly Jewish lines, Josephus was a reluctant rebel general who was originally named Joseph Ben Mathias (“son of Matthew”). He infamously switched to the Roman side following his defeat at General Vespasian’s hands. Thereafter, he enjoyed official favor and fortune as a writer and historian at the Flavian court, according to his own account.

Josephus tells us he was with Vespasian at Alexandria, although he does not report the celebrated healing miracles that the Roman general performed there. He, too, was present with Titus at the prophetic Siege of Jerusalem along with the others we have mentioned.

Josephus boasts that, after the war, he was awarded a comfortable property near Rome while writing his encyclopedic tome of Hebraic history with Flavian support and approval.
