 Julia Titi (17 September 64 - 91) was the only child to the Emperor Titus from his second marriage to the well-connected Marcia Furnilla. Titus divorced Furnilla after Julia's birth and conquered Jerusalem on Julia's sixth birthday. Julia was born in Rome. She was also known as Flavia Julia, Julia, Flavia, Flavia Julia Titii, Titii Julia and Julia Titii.

When growing up, Titus offered her in marriage to his brother Domitian, but he refused because of his infatuation with Domitia Longina. Later she married her second cousin Titus Flavius Sabinus (consul 82), brother to consul Titus Flavius Clemens, who married her first cousin Flavia Domitilla. By then Domitian had seduced her.
When her father and husband died, in the words of Dio 67.3, Domitian: ived with [her] as husband with wife, making little effort at concealment. Then upon the demands of the people he became reconciled with Domitia, but continued his relations with Julia none the less. Falling pregnant, Julia died of a forced abortion. Julia was deified and her ashes were mixed with Domitian by an old nurse secretly in the Temple of the Flavians. (Suetonius,Domitian 17.3)
One anecdote by the historian Suetonius relates an instance where the hero Jason returned from an expedition to Carthage, expecting immediate marriage to Julia. When she rejected him on the spot, he responded by throwing a cask of wine at her bedroom door. This created a minor scandal, fortunately relieved by the quick thinking of the Senate .

Titus Flavius Vespasianus (December 30, 39 AD – September 13, 81), also known as Titus, was a Roman Emperor (79-81) of the Flavian dynasty. Titus was a successful general who crushed the Jewish Rebellion in 70. He was considered a good emperor by Tacitus and other contemporary historians; he is best-known for his public building program in Rome and for his generosity in relieving the suffering caused by two disasters, the Mount Vesuvius eruption of 79 and the fire of Rome of 80.
