The Death of Domitian, 96AD

On the 18th of September 96 AD the Roman Emperor Domitian was assassinated in a plot orchestrated by his wife. The jury is still out on Domitian, and whether it will ever return to give its verdict is another matter. Some historians reckon that he was among the cruellest and most bloodthirsty of the emperors, while others maintain that he has had a bad press over the centuries and was not as evil as previously believed. Domitian was the son of an emperor (Vespasian) and the brother of another (Titus), both of whom generally get the “thumbs up” when their reigns are weighed up in terms of good versus bad. Domitian was kept well away from the business of government during their reigns, and when he got the job for himself he did rather let things go to his head, insisting on being addressed as “master and god”, for example. <a href="https://medium.com/@johnwelford15/the-death-of-domitian-96ad-97e5ae7cf7d3">Click Here</a>
