There has been much casual commentary about the possible relation of this reverse to the triumphal parade held for the victory Vespasian and Titus earned in Judaea. The reports of Suetonius (Domitian 2) and Josephus reveal that while Vespasian and Titus rode in separate chariots, Domitian, "magnificently adorned," rode alongside Titus' chariot on a splendid white horse, which was the usual mount for a young prince on such occasions.
