He was raised by his grandmother, from whose silver cup he would drink on festival days, and for a time he was so poor that he dealt in donkeys and was known as "the Muleteer." He was widowed before coming to power and lived with a freed-slave mistress named Caenis [KYE-niss]. That power was bolstered by the oath of loyalty given by Tiberius Alexander as well as 40,000 archers from the Parthians. However, he owed that power chiefly to the political skills of Mucianus and the military victory at Cremona of Antonius Primus. His reign ended with him saying "Alas, I think I'm becoming a god" on his deathbed and began with the crushing of major revolts on the Rhine and in Judaea and saw the start of construction on the Forum of Peace and the Colosseum, the latter of which was finished by his son. For 10 points, name this father of Domitian and Titus and Roman emperor from AD 69-79.
