3D model description

Domitian (r. A.D. 81-96), the third and final member of the Flavian dynasty of Roman emperors, was the younger son of Vespasian (r. A.D. 69-79) and brother of Titus (r. A.D. 78-81). Unlike his father and his brother, he was not regarded as a popular ruler and suffered damnatio memoriae [a] after his assassination. Nevertheless, several marble portraits of Domitian survive- the present example is one of the finest. This realistic portrait of him at about age forty expresses something of the absolute power that Domitian wielded over the entire Roman world, but it also depicts personal characteristics- notably, he wears a wig that concealed his baldness in later life.

Despite hostile accounts of his reign written by senatorial authors such as Tacitus and Suetonius in the early second century A.D., he was a competent administrator, economist and military leader. He lead successful campaigns in defense of the Rhine and the Danube frontiers, and his troops also saw action on other fronts, from Scotland in the north to Azerbaijan in the east. He did much to rebuild Rome after the disastrous fire of A.D. 64 and completed the construction of the Flavian amphitheater, better known as the Colosseum.
