The Unfulfilled Domitian of Rome

Domitian was treated with remarkable indifference by Vespasian, who seemed to only have eyes for Titus. The revolt was put down before the armies from Rome got anywhere near the front lines and the unfulfilled Domitian was returned to Rome. Aside from being trotted out every once in a while to preside over some archaic ceremony or another, Domitian faded completely from public view.
