  Domitian often displayed considerable political skill when dealing with matters of
  state. Such were the military actions in Germany and Dacia that he initiated and
  which can be justified as an effort to shorten Rome's frontier with the barbarian
  tribes to the East. In the end, they were unsuccessful and had to be resolved by the
  actions of his formidable successor, Trajan, yet competent decisions such as this
  preventative measure counter the typical derogatory bias found in the ancient authors
  concerning Domitian's reign.
