 Claudius Civilis - LoveToKnow 1911
The result of these accessions to the forces of Civilis was a rising in Gaul.
But disputes broke out amongst the different tribes and rendered co-operation impossible; Vespasian, 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.
The arrival of Petillius Cerialis with a strong force awed the Gauls and mutinous troops into submission; Civilis was defeated at Augusta Treverorum (Trier, Treves) and Vetera, and forced to withdraw to the island of the Batavians.

Civilis was put in chains and sent to Nero, and, though acquitted by Galba, again stood in peril of his life in the time of Vitellius, when the army clamoured for his execution.
Civilis collected at one of the sacred groves, ostensibly for a banquet, the chiefs of the nation and the boldest spirits of the lower class.
Civilis at first replied in artful language, but soon perceiving that Montanus was a man of singularly high spirit and was himself disposed for change, he began with lamenting the perils through which he had struggled for five-and-twenty years in the camps of Rome.

 The Batavian revolt 4: Into the vortex
Julius Civilis still commanded one of the Batavian auxiliary units in Roman service, and the commander of the Rhine army, Marcus Hordeonius Flaccus, did not know that Civilis conspired against Rome (although he sensed that something was going on; above).
Near Civilis were massed the captured Roman standards: his men were to have their eyes fixed upon the newly-won trophies while their enemies were demoralized by the recollection of defeat.
Civilis had done precisely what Vespasian had requested him to do -although for other reasons- and the Batavians were justified in their hope that Vespasian would recognize their independence.

 The Histories [of Ancient Rome] by Cornelius Tacitus:book 4
Civilis, himself commanding the central expeditionary force with the pick of his troops, the Batavians, filled both banks of the Rhine with disorderly bands of Germans in order to create a more ferocious appearance, while the cavalry careered over the plains nearby.
Civilis' reply was diplomatic at first, but when he realized that Montanus was a man of violent passions who was ready to stir up trouble, he made an appeal to him.
Civilis held back a part of his forces, and sent the veteran cohorts and the keenest of his German troops against Vocula and his army, under the command of Julius Maximus and Claudius Victor, his sister's son.

Civilis therefore utterly bent to rebel, yet meaning to smother for the present his main drift, and in the mean while to adjust all his measures by the course of events, began on this wise to introduce the public change intended.
Civilis was an enemy declared; he advanced to the encounter, he embattled his men: Hordeonius, out of his chamber, and from his couch, issued whatever orders he knew salutary to the foe.
Civilis the while had tampered with the besieged, and tried to win them to submit, by representing, that upon the Romans destruction was brought, and utter despair, and that over them his forces had gained the victory.

 Claudius Labeo
And so Julius Civilis was forced to split his forces and send units to the west, but they were unable to find Labeo, and started to loot the country of the Nervians, which did little to make them popular in Belgica.
I am coming over to your side, whether you want me as leader or follower.' This made a great impression on the ordinary soldiers and they were in the act of sheathing their swords when two of the Tungrian nobles, Campanus and Juvenalis, offered him the surrender of the tribe as a whole.
However, Julius Civilis was unable to organize the resistance, because he was "scouring the remote parts of Belgica in an effort to capture Claudius Labeo or dislodge him" (Tacitus, Histories 4.70).

As for Civilis, he received reinforcements from the Chauci, but not venturing to hold the Batavian capital, he hastily gathered up such property as was portable, set fire to the rest, and retreated to the Island.
Civilis attempted to halt the rout, but he was recognized, fired at, and compelled to abandon his mount and swim across the Rhine.
It was claimed by Civilis that the legions could have been rushed at this moment, and he took credit for cunningly diverting the Germans from this aim when they were set upon it.

So, Vetera seemed an easy prey to Civilis and the reward would be large: once the Romans had been kicked out of Vetera, their position in Germania would become hopeless.
Civilis, whose army had been reinforced by now with German tribes from the other side of the Rhine, wanted to take Vetera by brute force.
Civilis sent the Roman commander Munius Lupercus to her as a gift, but he was killed before he reached her.

The ‘historical’ moment of negotiations between Civilis and the Romans was particularly appreciated.
In the 1650s and 1660s in particular, the Batavian myth formed the subject of a number of paintings, as after the Treaty of Münster (1648) and the end of the war with Spain, the Dutch once again looked for a distinct identity.
Civilis remained an attractive protagonist for history paintings in the 1650s and 1660s.

The arrival of Potillius Cerealis with a strong force awed the Gauls and mutinous troops into submission; Civilis was defeated at Augusta Treverorum (Trier, Trèves) and Vetera, and forced to withdraw to the island of the Batavians.
When the Batavian leader Civilis captured the legionary base at Castra Vetera (near modern Xanten in Niederrhein, Germany), the commander of the Roman garrison, Munius Lupercus, was being sent to Veleda when he was killed en route.

Civilis then stipulated for the plunder of the camp, and appointed guards who were to secure the treasure, the camp-followers, and the baggage, and accompany them as they departed, stripped of everything.
Civilis was also influenced by recollections of kindness received; for his son, who at the beginning of the war had been arrested in the Colony, had been kept in honourable custody.
As arbiters between us we will have Civilis and Veleda; under their sanction the treaty shall be ratified." The Tencteri were thus appeased, and ambassadors were sent with presents to Civilis and Veleda, who settled everything to the satisfaction of the inhabitants of the Colony.

 Histories by P Cornelius Tacitus
That the legions might then have been crushed, and that the Germans wished to crush them, but were turned from their purpose by his own craft, was claimed as a merit by Civilis; nor is it unlike the truth, since a capitulation followed in a few days.
Cerialis, sending secret emissaries, had held out the prospect of peace to the Batavi, and of pardon to Civilis, while he advised Veleda and her relatives to change by a well-timed service to the Roman people the fortune of war, which so many disasters had shewn to be adverse.
Civilis thus opened the conference:- "If it were before a legate of Vitellius that I were defending myself, my acts would deserve no pardon, my words no credit.

His idealized portrait of the leader of the Batavians, the brave Julius Civilis, is mirrored in the portrayal of Flaccus as an incompetent defeatist.
In the last weeks of 68, Civilis had returned to the area later known as Germania Inferior, where he was again arrested, and brought to the new governor, Vitellius.
Julius Civilis wanted to avenge his brother and may have wanted to become king; the old tribal elite may have wanted to regain itsÿ former power; and perhaps the tribe as a whole dreamed of an independent state - something that the Frisians and Chauci, two tribes in the north, had obtained in 28.

While these works are ancient, and were studied together, the title Corpus Juris Civilis is not original to the compilation, but was applied starting in the 16th century, on the analogy of the Corpus Juris Canonici.
Denis Godefroy (1549–1622, Latin "Dionysius Gothofredus") was a member of a noble French family of jurists, a Calvinist, a councillor of Geneva, and a professor of law at Heidelberg, whose excellent commentary on the Corpus Juris Civilis (originally published Geneva, 1583) was standard in the 17th and 18th centuries.
