In AD 70 a great Batavian, Claudius Civilis, took advantage of disorder at Rome to lead the Celtic and Teutonic tribesmen, amongst whom were the Frisians, in a struggle for independence. Roman garrisons near the Rhine were driven from their positions, and at Castra Vetera (Xantero) two legions were surrounded. But dissensions arose between the Celts and Teutons, and Civilis being defeated, made peace on the old conditions. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a pivotal moment in history as Teutons and Celts join forces to drive the Romans from Gaul. In AD 70, Claudius Civilis, a great Batavian leader, seized the opportunity presented by Rome's internal turmoil to rally Celtic and Teutonic tribes against their oppressors. The Roman garrisons along the Rhine were pushed back, with two legions at Castra Vetera finding themselves surrounded.
However, despite initial success, discord between the Celts and Teutons ultimately led to Civilis' defeat and a return to previous conditions of peace. This illustration from Hutchinson's History of the Nations (c.1920) vividly depicts the chaos and disorder that characterized this tumultuous period.
The image has been digitally enhanced for clarity, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate details of this historical scene. From the determined warriors preparing for battle to the scenic backdrop of ancient Gaul, every aspect of this print transports us back in time.
As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the fierce spirit of independence that drove these diverse tribes to unite against a common enemy. Their struggle may have ended in defeat, but their bravery and resilience continue to inspire generations today.
