BATAVI

bətāˈvī, ancient Germanic tribe that settled (1st cent. b.c.) in the Rhine delta. Batavian regiments served under Rome, although this relationship was interrupted in a.d. 70 by the anti-Roman conspiracy of Civilis, one of their leaders. The tribal name was revived in 1795 to designate Holland, particularly the Batavian Republic.
