The name “Vespasian” (Vespasianus) could have been an alias name that was devised from a

combination of two or more words. It could have been made from “bas”, which is short for

“royal” (basilicos) and/or “King” (basileus). And “pas” being “pac” or “pax”, meaning “peace”.

The name could indicate that (1) the person is a King or royal, and (2) it could stand for the

phrase “royal peace” - which makes a statement. A rather potent one at a time when there was

so much turmoil in the royal houses.

There are other reasons for this connection having been found and indicated, but I will have to

find those notes as well. There were a lot of things going on involving the persons who are seen

as the founders of the “Vespasian” family line. Herod Pollio was Prince of Chalcis & Titular King

of Palestine 44-48 CE.

* King Herod (The Great) was descended from the Maccabees via Eleazar Auran.

** Flavia Domitilla I was also the wife of emperor VITELLIUS.

*** Domitia Longina, the wife of Domitian was mother of TRAJAN, but Domitian was not his

father.Trajan’s father was Lucius S. Titianus, the brother of OTHO.
