Скачать или смотреть Fall Asleep to the ENTIRE History of The Batavi

The Batavi were a fierce and influential Germanic people who lived along the Rhine frontier, caught between independence and the expanding power of Rome. Renowned as exceptional warriors and horsemen, they became valued allies of the Roman Empire, supplying elite troops who served in distant campaigns from Britain to the eastern provinces. Yet this close relationship was uneasy, marked by heavy demands and growing resentment. In 69 CE, tensions erupted in the Batavian Revolt under the leadership of Julius Civilis, briefly threatening Roman control in the north. In this episode, we explore the origins, military role, and resistance of the Batavi—a story of loyalty, rebellion, and life on the edge of the Roman world.
