Definition
An ancient Germanic tribe that inhabited the Rhine delta region in what is now the Netherlands during the Roman period.
Etymology
From Latin 'Batavi,' the name the Romans gave to this Germanic people; the etymology of their original name is uncertain but may relate to boats or wetland navigation.
Kelly Says
The Batavi became so trusted by Rome that they served as elite auxiliary forces and even provided bodyguards to emperors—yet maintained their independence and identity unlike conquered tribes around them.
