	Domitian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Titus Flavius Domitianus (24 October 51 – 18 September 96), commonly known as Domitian, was a Roman emperor of the gens Flavia.
		In 85, Domitian nominated himself perpetual censor, the office which held the task of supervising Roman morals and conduct, a task he could hardly apply to himself.
		Although it is unclear that Domitian officially enforced adherence to the cult, scholars generally agree that Roman governors forced citizens to participate in order to prove their loyalty and patriotism.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 03.06.10
		Admittedly, it is not his purpose to examine Pliny's or Tacitus' attitude toward Domitian, but in light of the overwhelming and understandable influence these authors have exercised on modern views of the emperor, it seems remiss not to have established with clarity the criteria by which their testimony has been either accepted or rejected.
		The undeniable Tacitean invective aside, the Domitian found therein is very much like the Domitian Jones has reconstructed for us: suspicious to the point of paranoia, eager to be in control, involved at every step of the way, more inclined to heed his courtiers than trust a senator judged a threat to his authority.
		The Emperor Domitian cannot and should not be judged as the final word on the emperor, but rather as a major step toward reassessing an emperor whose reign should perhaps be regarded not as a gloomy coda to the troublous first century, but rather as a precursor to the saner second.

	Suetonius' Life of Domitian
		Domitian pretended to be extremely modest, and though he displayed a novel devotion to poetry, which he would read aloud in public, his enthusiasm was matched by a later neglect and contempt of the art.
		Domitian also celebrated the annual five-day festival of Minerva at his Alban villa, and founded in her honour a college of priests, whose task it was to supply officers, chosen by lot, for producing lavish wild-beast hunts and stage-plays, and sponsoring competitions in rhetoric and poetry.
		Domitian himself is said to have dreamed that a golden hump sprouted from his back, interpreting this as a sure sign that the Empire would be richer and happier when he had gone; and soon the wisdom and restraint of his successors proved him right.

		Domitian scheint diese seit Augustus Ã¼bliche Fassade zumindest in der zweiten HÃ¤lfte seiner Regierung immer weniger gepflegt zu haben und durch die Offenlegung der tatsÃ¤chlichen MachtverhÃ¤ltnisse den Senat brÃ¼skiert zu haben.

	Domitian's Palace - History for Kids!
		Domitian was able to build a huge palace relatively quickly and cheaply because his architects used a new building method (which Nero had also used in his Golden House) of bricks and concrete.
