Titus Flavius Domitian was the 11th emperor of rome. He is best know for his persecution of christians, jews and the rich and noble. He was an adept archer and would frequently ask slaves to put his hands on the archery board, with his fingers outstrecthed, so that domitian could shoot the arrow between the fingers, which could mean extreme pain for the slave if he had missed the target. Although hated by the public, especially by aristocrats, he was popular among his soldiers. Domitian was killed by a freedman who had concealed a dagger under his groin, and when the praetorians guards arrived, instead of killing the freedman, they helped him stabbed Domitian to death.
