Vespasian

During the reign of Vitellius, in the east, General Vespasian is busy crushing a Jewish revolt and suddenly feels he needs a throne. Vespasian sends an army to Rome, leaving his son Titus to crush the revolt. Vespasian's forces defeat Vitellius and Vitellius tries to run away, but is captured and killed.

By this time, the royal treasury has been considerably depleted. So Vespasian creates new taxes, including one in public urinals. He sets Titus up as the Praetorian Prefect. Titus objects to the urinal tax, so Vespasian holds up his coins and says "See, my son, if they have any smell." After ten years of his reign, Vespasian dies.
