<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 3047770, member: 91461&quot;]Thanks! And Martial is &quot;mar&quot;staken. I saw it myself.</p><p>Yeah, we were partying pretty hard. Man, can Domi (what Domitian has his homies call him) put down those Yeager bombs! Anyway, so Suetonius and I are laughing our togas off at Martial. Who&#039;d just barffed before he passed out in a pile of something that belongs in the cloaca maxima! When out of nowhere, Domi starts Gaul kissing his niece right there in front of everyone.. with Domitia looking on none the less! Now, no-one knew if she was furious or enjoying it, due to her uncontrollable RBF.</p><p>So&#039;s I says, &quot;Domi! I was talking Martial when I said to &quot;get on your knees!&quot; I sure as hades wasn&#039;t saying to &quot;get on your niece!&quot;</p><p>True story.</p><p>Seriously, the fact that Martial hoped Domitian produced a son does make it seem as though he is a backer of the much, rightly or wrongly, despised emperor. As well, I don&#039;t see why he wouldn&#039;t have written those lines of there was truth to the rumor. Especially if, as he states, it was after Julia&#039;s death.</p><p>All that said, I just read a great article from an old Celator, Oct &#039;94, reassessing the reign of Domitian. The argument is decent. Essentially, he had to rule with an iron fist due to economic issues of the time. That and that pops and big bro did things very similar but were let off the hook cause they didn&#039;t reign as long.</p><p>Like the Richard Gear thing. You hear it so much you have to question it. Besides, who am I to let the truth stand in the way of a great story<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
