WHICH EMPEROR FOLLEWED THE FOOTSTEPS OF HIS FATHER AND HOW
Answers
Titus, albeit in a short reign, largely continued in the footsteps of his father, continuing many of his policies and enjoying popularity with the senate and people alike. He was renowned for his good looks, and his affable personality gave the people an emperor with whom they could associate more than the many who had preceded him.
Suetonius’s description of him leaves an image of a character that many would aspire to. He describes him as a “handsome man, with no less dignity than grace” and as possessing an “extraordinary memory,” as well as skill in all the arts, from speeches to singing and horse-riding.

In his address to the people, Naruhito formally announced his succession and pledged to continue learning.
Naruhito noted that his father was devoted to praying for peace and sharing joys and sorrows of the people, while showing compassion.
He said he will "reflect deeply" on the path trodden by Akihito and past emperors, and promised to abide by the Constitution to fulfill his responsibility as a national symbol while "always turning my thoughts to the people and standing with them”.
"I sincerely pray for the happiness of the people and the further development of the nation as well as the peace of the world," he said.
Naruhito was presented with the Imperial regalia of a sword and jewel, each in a box and wrapped in cloth, at a morning ceremony which was his first official duty in his new role.
