Line 96:
At the outset of the rebellion, Rome was heavily preoccupied with major military operations in Judea during the [[First Jewish–Roman War]]. However, the siege of Jerusalem that began in April 70 AD was over by early September, and the war was essentially over. When Civilis heard that Jerusalem had fallen, and he realized that Rome would now bring its full resources to bear upon him, Civilis made peace.
 
Peace talks followed. A bridge was built over the river [[Nabalia]], where the warring parties approached each other on both sides. The general agreements are unknown, but they where favourable to the Batavians, werethe forcedBatavians were to renew their alliance with the Roman Empire and to levy another eight auxiliary cavalry units. The Batavian capital of [[Nijmegen]] was destroyed and its inhabitants ordered to rebuild it a few kilometers downstream, in a defenseless position. Moreover, [[Legio X Gemina|X ''Gemina'']] would be stationed close by, to secure peace.
 
The fate of Civilis is unknown.
