| | Domitian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Domitian also founded Legio I Minervia in 82, to fight against Chatti. | | | In this atmosphere it is conceivable that John of Patmos wrote the Revelation in hopes of inspiring fledgling Christians to persevere. | | | In addition to sporadic persecutions Christians were also facing pressure to conform to the Imperial Cult of Domitian. |

| | Domitian meanwhile was denied a state funeral, and his name was obliterated from all public buildings. | | | In fact Domitian later claimed that Titus had denied him what should had rightfully been his rightful place as imperial colleague. | | | And in Judaea Domitian stepped up the policy introduced by his father to track down and execute Jews claiming descent from their ancient king David. |

| | Domitian did not develop a cult around himself as Caligula is alleged to have done (Gaius 22) and the use of "Dominus et Deus" cannot be proven to have been common usage beyond his courtiers. | | | Domitian sought to extend the tax to those who lived a Jewish life without admitting it and those who concealed their national identity to dodge the tax. | | | Domitian resented converts to Judaism regarding such actions as "atheism" by neglecting the State religion, and he prohibited such conversions. |

| | Bryn Mawr Classical Review 03.06.10 |
| | 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. | | | While he may have been reclusive, distant, and suspicious by nature (and consequently severe with opponents both real and imagined), he was nevertheless attentive to the demands of his office and generous to his carefully chosen supporters. | | | The prosopographical approach provides solid, persuasive support for the most compelling of Jones' assertions, that for the majority of Domitian's reign there existed no widespread discontent with either the emperor or his policies. |

| | Hence Domitian in his attack upon the aristocratic party found little difficulty in condemning such as were Christians. | | | On one count or the other, as Jews or as atheists, the Christians were liable to punishment. | | | To observe Jewish practices was no longer lawful; to reject the national religion, without being able to plead the excuse of being a Jew, was atheism. |

Presently he asked for the time. | | | Domitian put many senators to death, among them a group of ex-Consuls, three of whom, Civica Cerealis, Acilius Glabrio, and Salvidienus Orfitus, he accused of conspiracy; Cerealis was executed while governing Asia; Glabrio while already in exile. | | | Meanwhile Domitian grappled with Stephanus and bore him to the groumd, where they struggled for a long time, while Domitian attempted to seize the dagger and to claw out his assailant's eyes with his lacerated fingers. |

| | Fair interpretation of the reign of Domitian is difficult since he was much hated and maligned by all Senators including the historians Suetonius and Tacitus whose works are the major surviving records of the period. | | | Domitian had been allowed to share in the Consulship seven times during the reigns of Vespasian and Titus. | | | Titus, in a comment on his deathbed that he had done only one thing wrong in his life, is sometimes interpreted as regretting not preventing Domitian's succession. |
