Domitian (October 24, 51 - september 18, 96) was Roman emperor from 81 to 96. Domitian was the last emperor of the Flavian dynasty. His youth and early career were spent in the shadow of his brother Titus. While Titus held a great many offices under the rule of his father, he was left with honors but no responsibilities. Upon the death of Titus, Domitian was declared Emperor by the Praetorian Guard, commencing a reign that lasted 15 years - longer than any man who had ruled since Tiberius. As Emperor, he strengthened the economy by revaluing the Roman coinage, expanded the border defenses of the Empire, and initiated a massive building program to restore the damaged city of Rome. Religious, military, and cultural propaganda fostered a cult of personality. He was popular with the people and army but considered a tyrant by members of the Roman Senate. His reign came to an end in 96 when he was assassinated by court officials. After his death, his memory was condemned to oblivion by the Roman Senate.
