Titus Flavius Domitianus Augustus (ca. CE 51-96), known as
Domitian, was Roman emperor CE
81-96. The second son of the Roman emperor Vespasian and Flavia
Domitilla. While his policies and administration maintained the territorial integrity of
the empire he became increasingly cruel and ostentatious in civil affairs. Among other
things his instance on being addressed as dominus et deus (master and god), and
his autocratic rule distanced him from the Roman aristocracy. The latter hated him, a fact
of which he was quite aware.
Following the suppression of a rebellion led by Antonius Saturninus, governor of Upper
Germany, Domitian became increasingly suspicious and more and more ruthless. His paranoia
led to a reign of terror against senators during his last three years. Finally, in a plot
that included his wife Domitia Longina, opponents succeeded in murdering him on September
18, 96.
