The opening as it read in 2020
Flavia Domitilla , daughter of Domitilla the Younger by an unknown father, perhaps Quintus Petillius Cerialis , had the same name as her mother and her grandmother Domitilla the Elder .1 She was thus a granddaughter of Emperor Vespasian and a niece of Emperors Titus and Domitian . She married her cousin, the consul Titus Flavius Clemens , a grand-nephew of Vespasian through his father Titus Flavius Sabinus (consul AD 69) .2 There is disagreement about whether the Flavia Domitilla mentioned in certain fourth-century and later Christian writings is the same person or another.
