Batavi
Batavi (bətā´vī), ancient Germanic tribe that settled (1st cent. BC) in the Rhine delta. Batavian regiments served under Rome, although this relationship was interrupted in AD 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.
