I have a question.
According to Tacticus, during Vespasian's struggle against Vitellius in the Roman civil war of 69, Vespasian promised the Batavian Chieftain independence if he would aid him in his struggle against Vitellius, which he did. The Batavians however kept on fighting the Romans even after Vitellius had surrendered, yada yada.
Now, what if the Batavians had cooperated with Vespasian after Vitellius had been defeated? Would there really ever been a Batavian indepence? Would emperor Vespasian really go along with what he said? And if he did, how would it go down?
