This stems in turn from a political-psychological reading of Flavian literature, in which repression (in Harold Bloom's concept of "anxiety of influence") prevents discussion of current events.

Domitian himself appears only twice. He does not interact or converse with his subjects, and is physically isolated. This coincides with the picture drawn by ancient historians of a Domitian who shunned the public eye. |
