A civil war in Italy was now inevitable; but the main contenders, Otho and Vitellius, were both men whom Vespasian could reasonably hope to challenge. The chronology of Vespasian's actions cannot be precisely determined; what is certain ... Vespasian replaced the single army (which until Nero's time had only four legions) in Syria with three armies, with a total of six legions, in Cappadocia, Syria, and Judaea. Titus effectively ended the Jewish war with the capture of Jerusalem in August 70, and about the same time an alarming revolt in the Rhineland was broken by Vespasian's cousin Petilius Cerealis. The way was now open for the improvement ... great imaginativeness, compared with those of such later emperors as Trajan or Hadrian.

In his last illness he said, "Vae, puto deus fio" ("Oh dear, I think I'm becoming a ...

Five Major Misconceptions about Evolution.), many of these same creationists concluded an old earth and species originated by evolution. Since then, with newer more ... fame and fortune. Even if they are still holding back because they lack certainty in other scientist findings their work has changed our understanding of significant details of how evolution operates.

Franklin Pierce examined the new Library in the companionship of British scientist Sir Charles Lyell, who proclaimed it "the most beautiful room in the world."
