Domitian, Emperor of Rome AD 81-96, has traditionally been portrayed as a tyrant, and his later years on the throne as a "reign of terror". But was Domitian a despot? Jones argues that the Court rather than the Senate was the centre of Domitian's power and of his cultural ambitions.

The Flavian dynasty ruled Rome from AD 69 to 96. This text provides a translation of Suetonius' accounts of the three Flavian emperors - Vespasian, Titus and Domitian - taken from his "Lives", as well as a general introduction to Suetonius and a detailed commentary.
