before them delegates, commissioned to deliver to Herennius Gallus a message
from the cohorts. It was to this effect: "We have no quarrel with the
Romans, for whom we have so often fought. Wearied with a protracted and
fruitless service, we long for our native land n the
hesitating legate to risk the chances of a battle. Three thousand
legionaries, some raw Belgian cohorts, and with them a mob of rustic
ROMANS DEFEATED AT BONNA
and camp-followers, cowardly, but bold of
speech before the moment of danger, rushed out of all the gates, thinking to
surround the Batavians, who were inferior rished in the crush and by their own weapons. The
victorious army, who avoided the Colonia
Agrippinensis, did not venture on any other hostile act during the
remainder of their march, and excused the conflict at Bonna, alleging that they had asked for peace, and that
when it was refused they had but looked to their own safety.
