Page "Domitian" Paragraph 21

Where his political and military career had ended in disappointment, Domitian's private affairs were more successful in 70.

Vespasian attempted to arrange a dynastic marriage between his youngest son and the daughter of Titus, Julia Flavia, but Domitian was adamant in his love for Domitia Longina, going so far as to persuade her husband, Lucius Aelius Lamia, to divorce her so that Domitian could marry her himself.
