		In interpreting the evidence of the tablets from the 1970s, we suggested that in the mid-90s Vindolanda was occupied by the quingenary Eighth Cohort of Batavians and that it was succeeded towards the end of the period c.
		The strength report of the First Cohort of Tungrians (154) shows that the unit was based at Vindolanda and the archaeological context of this tablet and of the correspondence of its prefect, Iulius Verecundus, indicates that it was there in the earlier part of the pre-Hadrianic period.
		There are two texts which refer to the Third Cohort of Batavians - one addressed to someone connected with the unit and the other probably referring to the fact that Cerialis, prefect of the Ninth Cohort, had received letters from a centurion of the Third.

	Tacitus Historiën over de Nederlanden
		Claudius Labeo, prefect of the Batavian horse, who had been the rival of Civilis in some local contest, was sent away into the country of the Frisii; to kill him might be to give offence to his countrymen, while to keep him with the army might be to sow the seeds of discord.
		Thence arose a suspicion that the war was being kindled with the consent of the legates, and that everything which had happened, or was apprehended, was due, not to the cowardice of the troops, or to the strength of the enemy, but to the treachery of the generals.
		He entrusted to the Batavians the care of the machines and the vast siege-works, and when the Transrhenane tribes clamoured for battle, he bade them go and cut through the ramparts, and, if repulsed, renew the struggle; their numbers were superfluously large, and their loss was not felt.

		The Batavians were one of the poorest tribes in the Roman empire, living in the river area of what is now called The Netherlands, which was in Antiquity simply called the Island (between the rivers Rhine and Maas).
		He was commander of a Batavian cavalry unit, which is perhaps identical to the squadron that was stationed at the Kopse Hof near Nijmegen, the capital of the Batavians.
		The Batavian commander in Roman service had discovered that it was not possible to overthrow Civilis, so he started a guerilla war against the allies of the Batavians.

		In answer to the Batavian challenge, therefore, those of our troops who were spoiling for battle threw themselves into the fight, but panicked when their arms and mounts sank into the dangerous depths of the morass.
		While this was happening, a Batavian turncoat came up to Cerialis with an offer to take the enemy in the rear if some cavalry were sent round the far end of the marsh, where the ground was firm and the Cugerni assigned to its defence were off their guard.
		Heaven had turned against the Batavians in the hour in which they besieged the legions, killed their commanders and shouldered a war which, however necessary to a single individual, was fatal to themselves.

	Auxilia
		Attached to today’s Fourteenth legion, as in the Roman past, is a unit of provincial auxiliaries from the lands around the mouth of the Rhine, the First Cohort of Batavians, Roman Citizens.
		These auxiliary (literally ‘help’) troops were recruited from Rome’s newly conquered provinces because of their raw fighting edge, and because they could provide the Roman army with specialist skills which the heavy citizen infantry were unwilling or unable to undertake.
		The auxiliaries were a trained, professional and vital part of the Roman army and were often capable of winning battles without the assistance of the legionaries, most famously at Mons Graupius where our cohort of Batavians may well have gained the honorific ‘Pia Fidelis’ for their valour in battle.
