Domitian was a Roman emperor; see the link below.
John, traditionally identified as John the Apostle, was exiled to the island of Patmos primarily due to his Christian beliefs and teachings, which were seen as a threat to the Roman Empire's authority. During a time of persecution against Christians, he was likely exiled under the orders of the Roman Emperor Domitian around AD 95. It was during this exile that John is believed to have written the Book of Revelation. His exile served both as punishment and a means to silence his influence on the growing Christian community.

I have read that singer/entertainer John Davidson (b. 1941) was attacked by a buffalo on Catalina Island (when he had a singer's summer camp there), but that is a different person than the actor John Davidson (b. 1886).
John released after Domitian's death and was returned to Ephesus with his Revelation <Eusebius, Eccl. Hist.3.18.1>
Probably Domitian or Trajan.
A person named John probably writed on the Patmos Island The Revelation (Apocalypse).Roman Catholic AnswerAccording to Tertullian's testimony, the Romans attempted to boil St. John alive in boiling oil, when he survived that unscathed, he was exiled to the island of Patmos under the emperor, Domitian. After Domitian's death, John returned to Ephesus. He died about the age of 100, but that was at Ephesus, he would have been younger when he was at Patmos. See the Catholic Encyclopedia article below:
It was actually John the Apostle and this occurred late in the first century AD. John the Baptist was beheaded on the orders of Herod quite some years earlier, before the death of Jesus in 33 AD.
The island of Patmos.
John was on the island of Patmos "Revelation 1:[9] I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ."
Because he preached the Gospels; but this John is a controversial person not confirmed by any serious document.Answer:John was bannished to the isle of Patmos by the Roman authorities during the time of persecution of Christians by the Roman Emperor Domitian. This fits well with the late dating (A.D. 95) of the Book of Revelation.
John the desciple was put on the island of Patmos.
The book of Revelations was written by John on the island of Patmos roughly in the year 90.A.D.
Many writings from the early Church Fathers however testify that John, the beloved apostle of Jesus, indeed wrote Revelations and also was banned by the tyrant Domitian, who reigned after his brother Titus from 81 to 96 AD.After the death of Domitian in 96 AD John was able to leave Patmos.When Trajan, not long since, succeeded to the empire of the Romans, Ignatius, the disciple of John the apostle, a man in all respects of an apostolic character, governed the Church of the Antiochians with great care, having with difficulty escaped the former storms of the many persecutions under Domitian... Ignatius Martyrdom 1,1For when, on the tyrant's death, he returned to Ephesus from the isle ofPatmos, he went away, being invited, to the contiguous territories of the nations, here to appoint bishops, there to set in order whole Churches, there to ordain such as were marked out by the Spirit.Clemens Salvation Rich Man 42,1John left Patmos after the death of Domitian. Certainly the guards appointed by the tyrant were no longer interested in keeping him in exile, for after the death of Domitian the persecutions stopped for a short time.A: We do not know how or how often John left Patmos. In fact we do not even know who "John of Patmos" was, in spite of a later tradition that he might have been the apostle John, based on the coincidence of names. Patmos was a busy transit port and it would have been easy for John to catch any one of the many boats plying the route and stopping over at the Island of Patmos. It is for this very reason that Patmos would be one of the least likely places to incarcerate anyone.
No. Christian tradition says that the Apostle John was exiled to Patmos. The Book of Revelation was signed by a person called John, who said that he was writing from Patmos. In the belief that this person must have been the apostle John, Christians began to wonder how and why John went to Patmos, and gradually developed the tradition that he had been exiled to the island.
The one location for john in the book of John is the island of Patmos, in his last years.
