Domitian, 81-96 AD (younger brother of Titus, last of his family) He expanded the frontiers in Germany, but made himself hated by the Senate and nobility of Rome. He attempted to revive the ancient Roman religion, cracking down on the “godless” or “atheists” who didn't worship the Roman gods. In 95 AD, Flavius Clemens (cousin) was executed and Flavia Domitilla (niece) was banished for “atheism” (possibly/probably for converting to Christianity).
