By decree of the Senate, Titus is included in the number of gods. Domitian's wife takes the name Augusta. Domitian had the custom of daily indulging in solitary rest, during which he did nothing more than pierce flies with a sharp style. Domitian banned the existence of eunuchs. Three Vestals are convicted of fornication. Domitian condemns many of the senators to exile. The second bishop of the Alexandrian Church is Avilius 8, who ruled for 13 years. Domitian builds the church without using wood. Domitian was the first to order to call himself lord and god. The Nasamons and Dacians, who fought against the Romans, are defeated. Two months are named differently: September by Germanicus and October by Domitian. There was in glory Quinctilian from Spain, a Calagurian, who was the first to receive a public school in Rome and a salary from the treasury. Domitian sends into exile and puts to death quite a few of the nobility. Domitian expels mathematicians and philosophers from Rome. Many buildings were built in Rome, and between them: the Capitol, the entrance courtyard, the portico of the gods, the churches of Isis and Serapis, Stadium 9, pepper shops, the church of Vespasian, Minerva Chalcidian, Odeum 10, Trajan's market, the baths of Trajan and Titov, the Senate, Ludus matutinus 11, Mica aurea 12, Meta sudans 13 and the Pantheon. Domitian wins victories over the Dacians and Germans. Domitian was so proud that he ordered gold and silver statues of himself to be erected in the Capitol; and he designated this and all other definitions only by his own name, without any mention of previous authorities. The Supreme Vestal Cornelia, convicted of fornication, was buried alive in the ground by law. The third bishop of the Roman church, Clement, ruled for 9 years. Domitian forbade the planting of grapes in cities. Flavius ​​Josephus writes the twentieth book of Antiquities at this time. Domitian killed many of the nobility and sent some into exile. Domitian was the second after Nero to persecute Christians, and the Apostle John, being exiled under him to the island of Patmos, saw what Irenaeus calls the Apocalypse. Domitian again expels philosophers and mathematicians from Rome by edict. The philosophers Apollonius of Tyana and Euphrates are famous. Domitian ordered that those who came from the family of David be killed, so that no one from the royal house of Judah would remain. Brutius writes that under Domitian, many Christians suffered martyrdom, and that among them, Flavia Domitilla, the sister-niece of the consul Flavius ​​Clement, was exiled to the island of Pontus for declaring herself a Christian. There were many signs and extraordinary phenomena in Rome and throughout the world. Domitian was killed in the palace at the age of 45 and carried out without honor by the undertakers. The coats of arms and his images, wherever they were in Rome, were thrown to the ground and publicly trampled on by the people in disgrace. We translate the chronicle of Eusebius according to Jerome’s account, starting only from the Nativity of Christ, bearing in mind theological and church-historical interest, which the previous part of the chronicle does not represent. On the same basis, we consider it possible to omit in the translation the chronological indication of the years from Abraham, according to the Olympiads and according to the years of the reign of the kings of Judah (before the destruction of Jerusalem) and limit ourselves to Christian chronology. Asterisks indicate testimony of dubious authenticity that is found in all lists of the chronicle according to the presentation of the bl. Jerome. Note Editorials.
