Marcus Hordeonius Flaccus c. 14 &ndash 69 was a Roman Senate Roman senator . He was consul in 47, and commander of the Rhine army during the Batavian rebellion . In 69, The year of the four emperors , Emperor Vitellius ordered troops from the Rhine borders redeployed to Italy to support him against the rebellion of Vespasian which Flaccus refused because he had heard rumors of a possible uprising of the Batavians. When Vittellius ordered forced recruitment of Batavians, they did rise in rebellion against the Romans. His indecision in which emperor to support Vitellius or Vespasian , and his resulting inactivity in the containment of the Batavian rebellion, made his later reputation suffer in the works of Tacitus . He was murdered by his own troops still loyal to Vitellius after trying to celebrate the victory of Vespasian.

Nabalia is an ancient river in the Netherlands that has been mentioned once by the Roman historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus Tacitus , in his book Historiae 5 26 . The river must have had some local, strategic or religious meaning, for in 70 AD Julius Civilis , leader of the Batavian rebellion against the Romans, choose this location to negotiate peace. A bridge was built, where the warring parties approached each other on both sides. Here the Roman captain Ceriales was attributed a speech by Tacitus, but here the report breaks off. For this reason, the conditions of the peace treaty are not known. However, the Batavians were still called an important tribe to the Romans in the book Germania , written later, also by Tacitus, in 98 AD. There are no indications to a hash retaliation and the Batavians continued in their privileged position of semi independence in return for supplying elite troops to the Roman Empire . The identification of this river has not been resolved, also due to considerable changes of the historic watercourses. The name does not give any clue and, obviously cognate to Dutch nevel fog and derived from proto indoeuropean nebh sky cloud , could be a trivial synonym to any river.

Orphan date February 2009 The Smetius Collection was a 17th century collection of Roman provincial antiquities around the Dutch city of Nijmegen . Put together by Johannes Smetius 1591 1651 and his son Johannes Smetius junior 1636 1704 , both clergy at Nijmegen, the collection was instrumental in settling the debate about the exact location of the Batavians . History of the Collection Johannes Smetius senior was called to Nijmegen as a minister in 1618. Interested in history, he begun collecting Roman antiquities which were frequently discovered in and around the city. In 1644 he published Oppidum Batavorum seu Noviomagum , in which he used his collection to argue that Tacitus description of the Batavian fortress was Nijmegen. In 1678 Johannes Smetius junior published a catalogue of the collection under the title Antiquitates Neomagenses . This book is currently on sale, recently translated to Dutch, under the title Nijmeegse Oudheden Antiquities from Nijmegen . The two publications made the collection famous and its major importance in the scholarly debate about Roman activities in the Netherlands was recognized. The books also shed some light on the size of the collection, which encompassed over 10,000 Roman coins and about 4500 other Roman antiquities. Eventually the collection was sold to Johann Wilhelm, Elector Palatine and moved to D sseldorf. Only the few pieces that were donated to the city of Nijmegen are left of the collection, as the sold majority dispersed over time and its contents are now untraceable.
