Domitian, the third emperor, is considered one of the most controversial and influential rulers in Roman history, and is responsible for many of the buildings we associate with Rome today. The dynasty begins with the death of the four successors to the Julio-Claudians and ends with the dramatic assassination of Domitian in his own palace. Throughout the dynasty, there are numerous attempts to kill the sitting emperor, with seventy-five percent of all Roman emperors dying of assassination, the highest rate of any monarchy in the world.
