Quote:All I know is the basic circumstances surrounding the rebellion, and that Frisia is roughly located in what is now Holland (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong on this one!).Yes, wrong... :wink: The Frisians Tacitus is speaking about, did not live in what is now called Frisia, but in what is now called Noord-Holland. Flevum can -with considerable certainty- be identified with a fort near modern Velsen, west of Amsterdam. Have you read this?
If you need more info, drop me a p.m., and I will forward it to Arjen Bosman, who excavated Velsen, is a professor at Gent University, and also a very kind man who likes to help.
