		<English>[TAB][TABThe Batavii (or Batavi, Batavians) were a Germanic, or possibly Celtic tribe reported by Julius Caesar and Tacitus to have lived around the Rhine delta, in the area which is currently the Netherlands. This led to the Latin name of Batavia.[PARAGRAPH:2They were mentioned by Julius Caesar in his commentary Gallic Wars, as living on an island formed by the Meuse River after it is joined by the Waal, 80 Roman miles from the mouth of the river. He said there were many other islands formed by branches of the Rhine, inhabited by savage and barbarous nations, some of whom were supposed to live on fish and the eggs of sea-fowl.[PARAGRAPH:2]Tacitus described the Batavi as the most brave of the tribes of the area, inhabiting not much territory on the Rhine but an island in it. They were formerly part of the Cattans[?] but moved after a feud to become part of the Roman Empire. He said they retained the honour of the ancient association with the Romans, not required to pay tribute or taxes and used by the Romans only for war. He named the Mattiacians[?] as a similar tribe under homage, but on the other (Germanic) side of the Rhine.[PARAGRAPH:2]Also the areas inhabited by the Batavians where never occupied by the Romans, they were allies. In 69 CE, a rebellion led by Julius Civilis arose, which was defeated by the Romans the following year.[PARAGRAPH:2]After the 3rd century CE, the Batavians are no longer mentioned, and they are assumed to have merged with the neighbouring Frisian and Frankish people.[PARAGRAPH:2]The Batavians became regarded as the eponymous ancestors of the Dutch people. The Netherlands were briefly known as the Batavian Republic.</English>

		<English>[H1]Julius Civilis[\H1][NEWLINE][BOLD]Leader of the Batavii[\BOLD][NEWLINE][BOLD]Lived: [\BOLD] 69 AD[NEWLINE][PARAGRAPH:2][BOLD]Background:[\BOLD][NEWLINE][TAB]  Gaius Julius Civilis was the leader of the Batavian rebellion against the Romans in 69. By his nomen, it can be told that he (or one of his male ancestors) was made a Roman citizen (and thus, the tribe a Roman vassal) by either Augustus or Caligula.[NEWLINE][TAB] He was twice imprisoned on a charge of rebellion, and narrowly escaped execution. During the disturbances that followed the death of Nero, he took up arms under pretence of siding with Vespasian and induced the inhabitants of his native country to rebel. The Batavians, who had rendered valuable aid under the early emperors, had been well treated in order to attach them to the cause of Rome. They were exempt from tribute, but were obliged to supply a large number of men for the army, and the burden of conscription and the oppressions of provincial governors were important incentives to revolt. The Batavians were immediately joined by several neighbouring German tribes, the most important of whom were the Frisians.[NEWLINE][TAB]  The Roman garrisons near the Rhine were driven out, and twenty-four ships captured. Two legions under Mummius Lupercus were defeated at Castra Vetera (near the modern Xanten) and surrounded. Eight cohorts of Batavian veterans joined their countrymen, and the troops sent by Vespasian to the relief of Vetera threw in their lot with them.[NEWLINE][TAB]The result of these accessions to the forces of Civilis was rising in Gaul.  Hordeonius Flaccus was murdered by his troops, and the whole Roman forces were induced by two commanders of the Gallic auxiliaries - Julius Classicus and Julius Tutor - to revolt from Rome and join Civilis.  The whole of Gaul thus practically declared itself independant, and the foundation of a new kingdom of Gaul was comptemplated.  The prophetess Veleda predicted the compelte success of Civilis and the fall of the Roman Empire.  But disputes broke out amoungst the different tribes and rendered co-operation impossible; Vespian, having successfully ended the civil war, called upon Civilis to lay down his arms, and on his refusal resolved to take strong measures for the suppression of the revolt.[NEWLINE][TAB]The arrival of Quintus Petillius Cerialis with a strong force awed the Gauls and mutinous troops into submission; Civilis was defeated at Augusta Treverorum (Trier, Trèves) and Castra Vetera, and forced to withdraw to the island of the Batavians. He finally came to an agreement with Cerialis whereby his countrymen obtained certain advantages, and resumed amicable relations with Rome. From this time Civilis disappears from history.</English>

		<English>[TAB]The Batavians were master horsemen.  Their troops furnished great numbers of horsemen to the Roman Empire and graves of Batavian soldiers have been found in Brittan and Romania with their horses.[NEWLINE][TAB]One of the many skills the Batavian horsemen were said to have had is the ability to make their horses swim across rivers with full battle armor on all the while in perfect formation.  To do this their horses must have been trained from the time they were foals to adulthood. </English>

		<English>[TAB]Tacitus described the Batavians as the bravest of the tribes in the area, hardened in the German wars, with cohorts under their own commanders transferred to Britannia.  They retained the honor of the ancient association with the Romans, not required to pay tribute or taxes and used by the Romans only for war: "They furinished the Empire nothing but men and arms", Tacitus remarked,  Well-regarded for their skills in horsemanship and swimming - for men and horses could cross the Rhine without losing formation, according to Tacitus.[NEWLINE][TAB]The Alae Miliaria was the cavalry arm of the Batavian Cohorts supplied to the Romans.  The Miliaria would be used to flank and enemy and pepper them with pila (Roman javelins) before closing in a full charge.  These men were superb horsemen and could cross rivers and streams in full battle armor without loosing formation.  An excellent example of this skill is best described by Dio Cassius as he refers to the Battle of the River Medway."The barbarians thought that Romans would not be able to cross it without a bridge, and consequently bivouacked in rather careless fashion on the opposite bank; but he sent across a detachment of Germans, who were accustomed to swim easily in full armor across the most turbulent streams. [...] Thence the Britons retired to the river Thames at a point near where it empties into the ocean and at flood-tide forms a lake. This they easily crossed because they knew where the firm ground and the easy passages in this region were to be found; but the Romans in attempting to follow them were not so successful. However, the Germans swam across again and some others got over by a bridge a little way up-stream, after which they assailed the barbarians from several sides at once and cut down many of them." (Cassius Dio, Roman History, Book 60:20)[NEWLINE][TAB]Batavians also supplied large numbers of horesmen for the Emperor's Imperial Horse Guard.</English>
