| Nerva prided himself in acting in such a way that he could retire safely into private life. He returned confiscated property and granted land to very poor Romans, selling imperial luxuries and abolishing sacrifices and spectacles to do so. He reduced tribute Domitian had increased, and he exempted close relations from the five-percent inheritance tax. His laws prohibited castration and marriage to a niece. Nerva assisted afflicted communities and removed the burden from Italians of providing vehicles to the public posting service. Nerva ended Domitian's ban on stage actors although Trajan reinstated it. Nerva kept on Domitian's prefect Casperius Aelianus, and after a year the praetorian guards demanded Nerva hand over those who killed Domitian. tennis bettingAccepting US players | |
