Latin III, IV, V: Primary Sources

A relatively reliable translation of The Histories of Tacitus, a writer under Domitian. Includes access to two of his different works; "The Annals" which is about the previous Dynasty (The Julio-Claudians), and "The Histories", with the surviving books about the Year of Four Kings. In "The Histories", there are excerpts about the Civil War, about Vespasian's rule, and Domitian's childhood.

A relatively reliable translation of Pliny the Younger's "Epistulae", or "Letters". Since they are literal letters written to people, you definitely have to look through the content to find information, but there are some great tidbits on how Domitian and his fellow Emperors were perceived.

As known in English, "The Lives of the Twelve Caesars" is a comprehensive, if biased history of the Emperors lives up until Domitian. Very interesting to read! For Domitian, you want Book VIII.

Though an excellent poet and writer, Martial relied heavily on his main patron, Domitian. Therefore, many of his writings are more vacuously praising than fact-filled.

Juvenal's Satires mostly avoid speaking about Domitian directly, however the first 5 books detail what life was like in Rome under his reign.
