c. A realistic depiction of its subjects
Explanation:
By Flavian dynasty a caste of Roman emperors is known. He understood three rulers who occupied the throne for 27 years, which made it the shortest of the dynasties of Roman emperors (like that of the Illyrian emperors). The three belonged to the Roman gens of the Flavii.
The names of its members are:
Vespasian from 69 to 79
Tito from 79 to 81
Domitian from 81 to 96
The Flavians gained power after the year of the four emperors, the first civil war after the beginning of the Augustus Empire. His emperors managed to put the finances of the state in order, exhausted by the reign and splendours of Nero, and erased the aftermath of the terrible year that ended.

Vespasian achieved success in his duties. Under his reign, the Judea revolt was crushed (siege of Masada), the treasury of the state recovered, and the destruction caused by the war was repaired. Sign of the great economic improvement of the Roman Empire is that at this time the Colosseum was built, probably the most impressive ancient construction.
The hereditary sign of the Julio-Claudio Empire was recovered; Vespasian associated from the beginning of his reign with his two sons Titus and Domitian, with the title of Caesar. These three men monopolized the consular title during the reign of Vespasiano, and their children continued during their reigns attributing with certain assiduity the prestigious consular dignity.
With Vespasian, the status of Prince becomes official with the law called lex of empire Vespasiani, which specifies the powers of the emperor, thus saving the inaccurate definition of Augustus, and contributing to make the Prince not only a man exceptionally clothed with numerous powers but also a magistrate of the people of Rome.
Another evolution stands out, which occurred when he proclaimed Vespasiano dies imperii (that is, the anniversary day of the beginning of his duties) on the day of his acclamation by the army, even before having been invested with his powers by the Senate, and particularly of his imperium, although logically until then the dies imperii corresponded to this seizure of power. The emperor thus left open the door to the validity of a proclamation of the army, and only this, on the next emperor. The repetition of this fact in the third and subsequent centuries was one of the factors of the decline of the Roman Empire. With the Antonines, the Senate would be no more than a chamber of records, and as a result its power did nothing but diminish.
