Descriptionof Fortissimi and Validissimi
Manufacturer

Volume 3 of the series From Alexander to Adrianople 3000 BCE-400 CE. Fortissimi et Validissimi, the strongest and bravest this is how Roman writers described the Batavians. The indigenous people of the Lower Rhine were a community of soldiers who supplied the Roman army with men. Led by their native aristocracy, loyal and fierce, they became elite soldiers, personal bodyguards to the emperors and the most valuable European auxiliary troops in the empire. The book is based on many sources, Roman historical writings, Latin inscriptions and archaeological finds. The author is the coordinator of excavations at the site of a Batavian cavalry camp. The history of the Batavians in Roman service includes remarkable events: a revolt against Rome on the Lower Rhine, a bloody battle with the Caledonians in Britain, a horseman crossing the Danube in full armour before Emperor Hadrian, and a troop leader who was called rex while asking for more beer for his men. Fortissimi and Validissimi is a compelling story for academic historians, history buffs, and reenactment communities.
