84 CE

Domitia has returned by 84 to the palace, where she will live for the remainder of Domitian's reign without incident.

Little is known of Domitia's activities as Empress, or how much influence she wielded in Domitian's government, but it seems her role was limited.

From Suetonius, we know that she at least accompanied the Emperor to the amphitheater, while the Jewish writer Josephus speaks of benefits he received from her.

It is not known whether Domitian had other children, but he does not marry again.

Despite allegations by Roman sources of adultery and divorce, the marriage appears to have been happy.
