Domitian titles himself “perpetual censor” in CE 95, assigning himself the right to supervise the Senate’s behavior.

The emperor tolerates foreign religions insofar as they do not interfere with public order, or could be assimilated with the traditional Roman religion.

The worship of Egyptian deities in particular has flourished under the Flavian dynasty, to an extent that will not be seen again until the reign of Commodus.

Veneration of Serapis and Isis, who are identified with Jupiter and Minerva respectively, is especially prominent.

Fourth century writings by Eusebius of Caesarea maintain that Jews and Christians were heavily persecuted toward the end of Domitian's reign.

The Book of Revelation is thought to have been written during this period.

However, no nonpartisan, secular convincing evidence exists of any widespread religious oppression under Domitian.

Although Jews are heavily taxed, no contemporary authors mention trials or executions based on religious offenses other than those within the Roman religion.

Marcus Fabius Quintilianus (anglicized to Quintilian), a noted Roman professor and educational theorist of Spanish origin, writes Institutio Oratoria, in about 95.

A thorough and elegant textbook in twelve parts on the art of oratory, The Education of the Orator uses the rhetorical school of Isocrates as a model and shows the influence of Cicero.

The work treats all aspects of Roman education and public speaking, including the organization of a speech, the use of argument, stylistic devices, the technique of memorization, and the art of delivery.

Quintilian also emphasizes the importance to the speaker of having good character, possessing some knowledge of philosophy, and being thoroughly conversant with Greek and Latin literature.
