Title Domitia
Summary "Domitia" by S. Baring-Gould is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of ancient Rome and follows the life of Domitia Longina, the daughter of General Cnæus Domitius Corbulo. The story explores themes of familial love, political strife, and the impact of ambition on personal relationships, particularly how they are challenged during the tumultuous reign of Emperor Nero. The opening of "Domitia" introduces the bustling port of Cenchræa as the central characters are waiting for the arrival of Corbulo, who has been away on military campaigns. The text describes a vivid scene of a bireme approaching the harbor, highlighting the grandeur of the setting and the political tensions of the time. Domitia, portrayed as a vibrant and affectionate child, is excited to see her father again but is tangled in the complex dynamics of her maintaining a relationship with her mother, Longa Duilia. As the family prepares to reunite, the undercurrents of danger and political maneuvering become apparent, setting the stage for the challenges they will face as a family and within the larger political landscape of Rome.
