Domitian was apparently unable to gain support among the aristocracy, despite attempts to appease hostile factions with consular appointments.

Cassius Dio, writing nearly a hundred years after the assassination, includes Domitia Longina among the conspirators, but in light of her attested devotion to Domitian — even years after her husband had died — her involvement in the plot seems highly unlikely.
