Antient writers affirm, that Titus was converted to the Christian religion, during the Jewish war, by a high priest whom he had taken prisoner, though he afterwards espoused paganism. Titus is called king by Josephus and others, though Vespasian reigned at that time. And there was a rainbow round about the throne, &c.—Revelations, c. iv. v. 3. This man, when about to surrender himself, put on kingly apparel, and with the utmost assurance called for the Roman general, saying, he would not give himself up to any one but him.—Wars of the Jews. |
