Domition cont…He got engaged in a vicious executions and became
aggravated which lead to his deathHis fatal mistake in 69AD was also abandoning the
Augustan titles of “first citizen” and “first among equals” because he wanted to appeal the gods

The Senate refused to praise Domition after his death. He had all of his records and accomplishments expunged from the city to erase his memory
His remains wasn’t reunited with he father’s and brother’s in the Roman Pantheon so the memory of the Flavian Dynasty was destroyed.

succeeded in restoring stability to Rome after the reign of Nero (r. 54–68 A.D.) and the civil wars that only wreaked mayhem on the empire, and particularly on Italy itself.
