"I am GOD and MASTER" - Domitian, a totally sane and stable Emperor
The Tyrant Cycle
https://piefed.social/c/historymemes/p/1666759/the-tyrant-cycle
This day in history: 96 AD
Roman Emperor Domitian was assassinated—ending the Flavian dynasty.
Enter Nerva, a senatorial pick who really struck a nerve with the Flavian Flavs.
The army hated it. The Guard resented it. But Nerva adopted Trajan—and accidentally kicked off the Five Good Emperors era.
Domitian: murdered in a palace plot.
Nerva: walks in like “surprise bitch, bet you thought you’d seen the last of the Senate.”
