The year 69 AD. A mutiny breaks out among the Rhine troops of the Batavian tribe in northwestern Germania, just as several claimants to the throne are vying for power in Rome. Julius Civilis, the commander of the Batavian troops in the Rhineland, has received a secret message from General Vespasian in Rome. The general, who has already been declared emperor by his own men, wants Civilis to incite a rebellion among the Rhine troops to create panic in Rome. Vespasian hopes that this will give him the upper hand over his opponent Aulus Vitellius. However, a vision from Veleda, the highly respected prophetess of all Germanic tribes, presents the Batavians with a very different picture of the future. The new historical comic by the Dutchman Peter Nuyten.
