So what title would Vespasian have carried during the Jewish War (prior to his elevation to Emperor)? Nero dragged him back out of pseudo-exile for the task, but did he make him Governor of Judea?
Vespasian would have been a legatus Augusti pro praetore, 'lieutenant' of Augustus with propraetorial powers. (lieu-tenant is a french word meaning literally 'place-holder' or substitute)
