Domitian was the first emperor to absent himself from Rome for a sizeable portion of his reign in order to conduct foreign policy. The reconstruction of Domitian's foreign policy is rendered difficult by the rampant distortion of his actions by hostile sources. Domitian's foreign policy was oriented towards the empire's European frontiers and directed to those areas where Roman dominion faced genuine threats. Domitian's devotion to the Capitoline cult is in evidence from the inception of the Flavian dynasty. Regardless of how one interprets the nature of the charges against Flavius Clemens, Flavia Domitilla, and Acilius Glabrio, a crucial aspect is the link between the religious and political aspect of Roman worship that is central to Domitian's conception of such matters. The most significant innovation introduced by Domitian in the governance of the empire was the increased presence of equestrians in the imperial administrative apparatus.
