Abstract
- It is very likely that Vergil in Aeneid 8.727 refers to the Batavians, either on their own or as the leading tribe in the region This conclusion may be drawn from the poet's use of the word bicornis in line 727 and the manner in which he places the words Rhenus bicornis within the context of lines 722-728.
