Reseña del editor:
Domitian was only nineteen when he made his first appearance in the senate. It was also his first meeting with the men who were to bring about his downfall. Following his assassination in 96 AD after a reign that had lasted fifteen turbulent years, the senate declared the memory of this, the last of the Flavian emperors damned forever. Why? The surviving record relates tales of unbelievable depravity - Domitian's reign being described as the darkest in history, full of terror and uncertainty. Suetonius documents all Domitian's eccentricities, idiosyncrasies and crimes in ascending order of seriousness, culminating in the list of executions of senators - ten in fifteen years. But was his reign as bad as it has been portrayed? Why did contemporary authors have no good word for him even though their careers were advanced by his imperial favour? Many of the emperor's earlier achievements were enduring and well-advised - his administrative arrangements survived him, unchanged by later emperors - and his frontier wars were by no means ill-considered. Indeed, the number of senators murdered by him was far smaller than those killed by Claudius. Something indefinable had gone wrong between Domitian and the senate, but what? In this new in-depth study, Pat Southern distinguishes fact from fiction. She strips away the hyperbole and sensationalism from the literary record to present a clear picture of the youth and reign of a man who was not as black as he was painted but who caused undoubted suffering which must be accounted for. For the first time Domitian is examined from a psychological point of view, to reveal a living breathing individual - offering a more reasonable explanation of thetragedy of his reign to satisfy both his detractors and his few champions.

Buchbeschreibung Zustand: Sehr gut. 164 p., w/ images. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Scuffed dust jacket, otherwise in very good condition. - Content: Domitian has been portrayed by some authors as a monstrous tyrant, an inflexible pedant with no imagination, an incompetent general; by others as an able administrator and defender of the Empire. He rarely emerges as a living, breathing, person, subject to happiness and satisfaction, trauma and disappointments, like anyone else. The portrayal of the tyrant has been amended, the administrator debated and his character analysed, and anyone embarking upon a new biography owes a great deal to B. W. Jones, who missed nothing in the way of evidence, and to K. H. Waters, who attempted to understand Domitian. The contribution that this book hopes to make is to add a psychological dimension to the study of this complex man. The author owes a massive debt to Karen Dixon for suggesting that it was possible to write books in the first place, and to Charles Daniels for all the past encouragement and listening. Much gratitude is due to Professor Anthony Birley for continual benign assistance, and for saving me from errors. Charles Daniels and Ian Stephenson also read drafts and entered into discussions; Dr Julian Bennett conversed at length on points of detail, and allowed me to read his work on Trajan before it was published; Dr Jon Coulston advised on architectural and sculptural matters, and allowed me access to his enviably extensive collection of slides; Graeme Stobbs produced maps with minimum fuss and maximum speed and efficiency. The above-named do not agree with everything stated in this book, and faults remaining are to be laid at the author's door, preferably by politely worded letter. I should also like to thank Peter Kemmis-Betty and Charlotte Vickerstaffe for their encouragement and advice, and their quick response to queries. Similarly the staff of Newcastle University Library have always been unfailingly helpful and patient, and in particular the Inter-Library Loans staff consistently perform above the call of duty. The following museums kindly provided photographs: The British Museum. London; Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen; Vatican Museums, Vatican City; Capitoline Museum, Rome; Toledo Museum of Art, Ohio; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg.
