Brian W. Jones's The Emperor Titus, published by Croom Helm in 1984, is the standard English-language scholarly biography of the Roman emperor Titus, covering his command in the Judaean war, the joint triumph he shared with his father Vespasian, his brief principate, and the ancient sources for his death in 81 CE. Jones was a specialist in Roman imperial history, and the book rests on standard academic press peer review and direct engagement with the ancient historians Suetonius, Tacitus and Dio Cassius. It remains a standard reference on Titus specifically, though as a single-reign biography it addresses the wider Flavian dynasty's history only as context.
