"The Lives of the Twelve Caesars, Volume 11: Titus" by Suetonius is a biography that tells the story of Titus, a Roman emperor whose life was full of surprising changes. At first, people didn't trust Titus because he seemed to enjoy the finer things in life and some thought he was unkind. But when he became emperor, he surprised everyone by being kind and generous. He won the hearts of the Roman people by helping them during tough times, like when Mount Vesuvius erupted and when a big fire destroyed parts of Rome. Despite the challenges and the weight of his family's past, Titus ruled with care and fairness, always thinking about what was best for the people, which ultimately led to his positive legacy and made his early death at 41 years old a tragedy for the people of Rome.
