Domitian was a Roman Emperor who ruled from 81 to 96 AD. He was the last member of the Flavian dynasty, succeeding his brother Titus. Domitian is known for his authoritarian style of governance and efforts to strengthen the economy and military. He also initiated extensive building projects in Rome, including the renovation of the Palatine Hill. His reign was marked by a focus on imperial power and a series of military campaigns. Domitian's rule ended when he was assassinated in 96 AD, leading to a period of relative stability known as the Five Good Emperors. His legacy is often viewed as controversial due to his harsh treatment of political opponents.
