===Batavian Revolt, c. 69===
In AD&nbsp;69 the [[Batavi (Germanic tribe)|Batavi]] and other tribes rose against Roman rule in the [[Revolt of the Batavi]], becoming a general uprising by all the Germans in the region. Led by [[Gaius Julius Civilis|Civilis]], they inflicted huge casualties on the Romans, including the destruction of a Roman fleet by a Germanic one off the [[North Sea]] coast.<ref>{{Harvcolnb|Haywood|1999|pp=22–23}}, ''Dark Age Naval Power''.</ref>  Led by [[Quintus Petillius Cerialis|Cerialis]], the Romans gave as good as they had gotten, ultimately forcing a humiliating peace on the Batavi and stationing a legion on their territory.

Both the Chauci and the Frisians had auxiliaries serving under the Romans, and in a siege and assault by Civilis at ''Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensis'' (at modern [[Cologne]]), a [[cohort (military unit)|cohort]] of Chauci and Frisians had been trapped and burned.<ref>{{Harvcolnb|Tacitus|105|pp=7}}, ''The Histories'', Translator's Summary of Chief Events.</ref><ref>{{Harvcolnb|Tacitus|105|pp=193}}, ''The Histories'', Bk IV, Ch 79.</ref> The Chauci had supported  Civilis in their own name, providing him with reinforcements.<ref>{{Harvcolnb|Tacitus|105|pp=222}}, ''The Histories'', Bk V, Ch 19.
