This is the first ever study to assess Emperor Domitian from a psychological point of view and covers his entire career from the early years and the civil war AD through the imperial rule to the dark years and the psychology of suspicion. Pat Southern strips away hyperbole and sensationalism from the literary record, revealing an individual who caused undoubted suffering which must be accounted for.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A book for many purposes and readers,
By ANTONIO IOZZO (Toronto, ONT. CANADA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Domitian: Tragic Tyrant (Hardcover)
This book is a must read for those who enjoy detailed biographies. The author is constantly using ancient sources and than attempts to distinguish-with much skill-on the validity of these sources. The book is sure to answer any questions you may have on this person. The book is not only successful biography but it is also good at introducing the facts of the time in which Domitian lived. Its worth the read and it could be used for study purposes or for pure interest reasons. I'am not a person who is too into history, but I enjoyed it very much.
