The Wars of the Jews

Mucianus

Family: Roman · Role: Roman official · First appears: Book IV, Chapter 1

In Book IV, Chapter 1, Titus was sent to Syria to Mucianus and was not with his father at that time. By Chapter 9, Mucianus and Antonius Primus had killed Vitellius and his German legions, bringing the civil war to an end.

In Chapter 10, Mucianus joined the exhortations urging Vespasian to accept the empire. Vespasian then sent him to Italy with a substantial army of horsemen and footmen. When Mucianus came into Rome, he ordered Antonius Primus and his men to stop killing; the next day, he presented Domitian to the people, who acclaimed Vespasian as emperor.
