Page "Titus" Paragraph 32

During the second visit, in spring of AD 80, a fire broke out in Rome, burning large parts of the city for three days and three nights.

Although the extent of the damage was not as disastrous as during the Great Fire of 64 — crucially sparing the many districts of insulae — Cassius Dio records a long list of important public buildings that were destroyed, including Agrippa's Pantheon, the Temple of Jupiter, the Diribitorium, parts of Pompey's Theatre and the Saepta Julia among others.

Once again, Titus personally compensated for the damaged regions.

According to Suetonius, a plague similarly struck during the fire.

The nature of the disease, however, or the death toll are unknown.
