 Avalanche Press
As Germans, the Batavii did not share the Celts' mystical attitude towards horses and did something no Celtic enemy would have dreamt — they loosed both spears and arrows on the horses rather than the charioteers, shocking the Celts and breaking their charge.
The Celts probably expected to be able to hold the line of the Thames, but the Romans crossed quickly behind them thanks to the skills of the Batavii and the ships of the Classis Britannica.
The loss of the chariot force — what was not shot up by the Batavii would have been difficult to evacuate across the river — limited Celtic mobility and made open ground dangerous.

 The Netherlands : History
The earliest inhabitants of what is now the Netherlands were three tribal groups who settled the marshy deltas of the "Low Countries" in the dawn of recorded history.
They were the Belgae of the southern regions; the Batavii, who settled in the area of the Great Rivers; and the fiercely independent Frisii, who had taken up residence along the northern coast.
By Caesar's own account, the Batavians made a fair job of defending their "fertile wetlands." They were, he wrote, the fiercest fighters his legions had ever encountered.
