Domitia's sensual response to the stage, however, is not caused by the actors nor their performance; rather, Domitia herself causes this response by developing an inappropriate relationship with the performance.
Domitia's control of the performance substitutes her political authority for the players' theatrical authority as she encodes the performance through imperial decree.
Domitia's second stratagem depends on an awareness of Domitian's obsession with the stage, an obsession that is fairly well known in Rome.

Domitia Lepida, before she was 20 and sometime after the birth of Messallina, had been left a widow by Marcus Valerius Messalla Barbatus.
The marriage of the emperor Claudius and her daughter Messallina placed Domitia in the privileged position of mother-in-law to the emperor and subsequently as grandmother to Britannicus, the heir apparent.
Although Domitia hurried to Messallina's side when her daughter was accused of treason for enacting a marriage ceremony with her lover, Gaius Silius, she simply advised her daughter to kill herself.

 New Statesman - Revenge served cold
Delighted by her rise in status and particularly by the displacement of Caesar's three prior princesses, Domitia (the spirited Anna Madeley) commands the court in a transparent-fronted dress, her fl underwear giving her an ill-judged modernity.
Caesar is in thrall to this calculating child-woman, but Domitia's affections are elsewhere, as she herself falls prey to an obsessive lust for Paris, Caesar's favourite actor, played with integrity by Joe Dixon.
Domitia delivers a gutsy riposte to Caesar's forgiveness, rejecting him outright, and a soothsayer predicts his imminent death.

 Voyage en Narbonnaise : Via Domitia
His mission was to establish a land route, which could be used in all weather conditions, and also to set up garnisons to protect the first outposts of Roman colonisation, such as the one at Narbonne.
The Domitian Way (Via Domitia) was laid out in a near-straight line over solid terrain and was usable year round.
When it passed through inhabited areas, it was paved or lined with flagstones (at Ambrussum, for example), and in steep slopes it was cut from solid rock (as at Panissars), but for the most part, the Domitian Way was a dirt road built on stratified layers of gravel and cobblestone (the section at Pinet).

 The History of the Languedoc: the Via Domitia
On the road on towards Nîmes, between the two towns is an 8 km (5 mile) stretch of the Via Domitia which is well preserved, with even three of its mile posts still in place.
While the Via Domitia was being constructed in the 2nd century BC, Ambrussum, an existing Gallic settlent, became a staging post along the route.
This route was probably the one taken by Hannibal and his famous elepants in 218 BC on his way to the Alps (before the Via Domitia was built).

 Ancient History Sourcebook: Suetonius: De Vita Caesarum--Domitianus, c. 110 C.E.
He had had a son by her in his second consulship, whom he lost the next year; but he divorced her because of her infatuation for the actor Paris, though he could not bear the separation from her and took her back, alleging that the people demanded it.
After persistently refusing his niece, who was offered him in marriage when she was still a maid, because he was entangled in an intrigue with Domitia, he seduced her shortly afterwards when she became the wife of another, and that too during the lifetime of Titus.
Later, when she was bereft of father and husband, he loved her ardently and without disguise, and even became the cause of her death by compelling her to get rid of a child of his by abortions.

 American Journal of Archaeology / Article Abstract
A reexamination of the portraits traditionally assigned to Domitia Longina reveals that they can be divided into three distinct types.
Type I was created at the time of Domitia's marriage to Domitian in A.D. 70; type II at the time of Domitian's accession in A.D. 81, celebrating Domitia's new position as Augusta and consort of the Dominus et Deus; and type III after Domitian's assassination, honoring Dounitia's participation in the plot to kill her husband.
The portraits of Domitia attest to her enduring social and political significance.
