Domitian, Titus Flavius (51–96), Roman Emperor from 81. Roman historians ranked him as a tyrant; Christian tradition held him to have been a persecutor. Under his successor, being a Christian was already a capital offence, but this may have been the case continuously since the reign of Nero. See PERSECUTIONS, EARLY CHRISTIAN.
