 | | Not only was the Roman military power in Germania seriously weakened, as so many troops had been summoned to Rome to defend Vitellius, but the situation enabled Civilis to pretend to act in support of Vespasian and not as an enemy of Rome. |
 | | Four legions were located in Germania Inferior (Legio I, V, XV and XVI) and three in Germania Superior (Legio IV, XXI and XXII). |
 | | Two of these incomplete legions were located in Germania Superior and four in Germania Inferior: one in Bonn, one in Novaesium (Neuss), and two in Castra Vetera, the most Northern stronghold in Germania still in Roman hands. |
