As a military commander, Vespasian gained early renown by participating in the Roman invasion of Britain in 43.[10] Nevertheless, ancient sources allege poverty for the Flavian family at the time of Domitian's upbringing,[11] even claiming Vespasian had fallen into disrepute under the emperors Caligula (37–41) and Nero (54–68).[12] Modern history has refuted these claims, suggesting these stories later circulated under Flavian rule as part of a propaganda campaign to diminish success under the less reputable Emperors of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and to maximize achievements under Emperor Claudius (41–54) and his son Britannicus.[13] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8600.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8600.txt
