During his reign there occurred two disasters—a great fire in Rome and the eruption of Vesuvius which buried Pompeii and Herculaneum. On both occasions Titus was active in lending aid to the distressed. Although Titus was not friendly with his brother and successor Domitian there is no reason to believe the rumor that it was Domitian who arranged his death.
