Titus fought a war against Nabius, a Spartan tyrant. He does not capture or kill him, but makes peace. He did this when he foresaw that destroying Nabius would have ruined many, many Spartans. So he forbear, saving those people.
The Greeks had many Roman slaves, taken in the war with Hannibal(a general for the Greeks). They were dispersed about the country, but the Achaeans, paying five pounds a man, got them, and they were returned to Titus, who was very pleased. He had taken none from their owners by force, though he had opportunities to do so.
Titus had a splendid Triumph. The freed Romans marched behind him, wearing the dress of freed slaves. Titus really likes to have honor and recognition, and this could cause problems later.
More later,
Bell
