Titus Flavius Sabinus (suffect consul 72)
Titus Flavius Sabinus was a Roman suffect consul and military in the 1st century AD. His father of the same name was the brother of Emperor Vespasian .
Sabinus was nominated by Emperor Nero or Galba together with Gnaeus Arulenus Caelius Sabinus as suffect consul for the months of May and June of the year 69. In mid-April 69, Emperor Otho Sabinus made the command of the 2000 gladiators previously led by Martius Macer . After Otho's suicide, Sabinus joined the new emperor Vitellius , so that he could take up his suffect consulate no later than April 30th. Vespasian didn’t hold his nephew after the death of Vitellius. He was even able to hold a second suffect consulate in 72. After that, Sabinus, as curator operum publicorum, was in charge of all public buildings.
Although Tacitus in his histories does not clarify the relationship between the consul-designate for 69, Titus Flavius Sabinus, and the city prefect of the same name, it is now assumed that the city prefect was the father of the consul-designate. The suffect consul in 69 and 72 had two sons, Titus Flavius Sabinus (consul 82) and Titus Flavius Clemens .
