Correct answer: Vespasian

Emperor Vespasian started the project around 72 AD as a grand gift to the Roman public, using spoils from the Siege of Jerusalem. He intentionally chose the site of Nero's former private lake, symbolizing a return of private land to the citizens. Sadly, he died just a year before it officially opened.
