When the
Batavians were near the camp at Bonna, they sent on
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

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.

With feelings somewhat
appeased, they arrived at Bonna, the winter-camp of
the first legion. The troops there were even more enraged against
Hordeonius, and laid on him the blame of the late disaster. They said that
it was by his orders that they had offered battle to the Batavians,
supposing that the legions from Mogontiacum were
following them; that it was through his treachery that they had been
slaughtered, no reinforcements coming up; that all these events were unknown
to the othe whose
means they were read by the soldiers sooner than by the generals. He then
ordered one of the mutineers to be put in irons, more for the sake of
asserting his authority than because any one man was in fault. The army was
then moved from Bonna to the Colonia Agrippinensis, while auxiliaries from Gaul continued to flow in; for at first that nation
zealously supported the cause of Rome. Soon indeed
as the Germans increased in power, many of the states took up arms against

He had gone to Novesium and Bonna, to inspect
the camps which were then in course of erection for the winter abode of the
legions, and was making his way back with the fleet, his escort being in
disorder, and his sentries negligent. This was observed by the Germans, and
they planned a surprise. They chose a dark and cloudy night, and moving
rapidly down the stream, entered the entrenchments without opposition. The
carnage was at first helped on by a cunning device. They cut the ropes of
the tents, and slaughtered the soldiers as they lay buried beneath their own
dwellings. Another force put the fleet into confusion, threw their grappling
irons on the vessels, and dragged them away by the sterns. They sought at
first to elude notice by silence, but when the slaughter was begun, by way
of increasing the panic they raised on all sides a deafening shout. The
Romans, awakened by wounds, looked for their arms and rushed through the
passages of the camp, some few with their prop
