Sources on Revolt of Julius Civilis?

[Anonymous]

Hi,<br>
<br>
After a long interval I find myself returning to this discussion group.<br>
I'm currently researching the Revolt of Julius Civilis and I am particularly interested in finding sources that outline composition of forces and such of this conflict. Tacitus is an obvious starting point...<br>
I don't have Cheeseman's book on Auxilia - could you tell me how helpful this one would be, especially for the Batavian forces? Any other suggestions for sources and such?<br>
Thanks very much,<br>
<br>

Hi Geert,<br>
<br>
Other than Tacitus there is very little primary source material - there is one stratagem of Frontinus (4.1.14 from memory) which deals with the revolt and there are a couple of articles and book chapters which reconstruct the campaign.<br>
<br>
Check Parker Roman Legions, Jones The Emperor Domitian and his Domitian and the Senatorial Order. Other than that maybe Cassius Dio has a mention.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
