Insula Batavorum
natural · 30 BC – 2099 AD · location approximate
Both Iulius Caesar and Tacitus refer to the "Island of the Batavi", once located at a split in the Rhine and framed by the Waal river on the one hand and the Lower Rhine on the other. This area seems to correspond roughly to the modern Betuwe in the Netherlands.
