Vespasian was the first emperor from an equestrian family. He rose later in his lifetime into the senatorial rank—the first of his family to do so. He rose to prominence through military achievement: he served as legate of Legio II Augusta during the Roman invasion of Britain in 43, and later led the suppression of the Jewish rebellion of 66–70.
