Emperor Vespasian by Toshi
Vespasian Titus Flavivs Caesar: 17 November 09 AD - 24 June 79 AD. Reigned 21 December 69 - 24 June 79. Unusually for Roman Emperors Vespasian died of natural causes with his humour intact. The belief at the time was that Roman Emperors became deities on their death. On his deathbed and aware he was near if not at his end he remarked "Vae puto deus fio" "Damn it, I think I am becoming a God". On the strength of his dying quip he was witty and stoic. He also understood - as Clinton later had it - it's about the economy. That he was witty, stoic, and understood what his population wanted is reflected in the length of his rule and that of his sons. His son Titus was the first heir of an Emperor to succeed his father as Emperor and similarly his younger brother Domitian to succeed an elder brother as Emperor. The three ruled from December 69 until September 96. All three were notably economically successful and popular.
Our t-shirts are unique for being wholly made with CoolMax freshFX. CoolMax is a patented fibre designed to wick perspiration and accelerate moisture evaporation, keeping wearers cooler and drier. This wicking feature of the fabric is made possible by micro channels engineered into the profile of and surface of the fibre. These channels are cleverly dimensioned to exploit the surface tension and capillary action of water. Being physical properties of the fibre, these channels endure and do not significantly diminish with wear or washing.
Antimicrobial (freshFX) treatment stops the propagation of odour producing bacteria. This is achieved by embedding silver salt crystals into the structure of the fibre. FreshFX treatment like the wicking is permanent and does not leach out with everyday use. These characteristics ensure the shirts remain cool, dry and odour free regardless of what you might do in them. Performance of the fabric is guaranteed through a certified and monitored manufacturing process.
