Palmyra (Empire Divided) Missile Infantry

Auxiliary Illyrian Archers

The Bellum Batonianum was a great rebellion in the Roman province of Illyricum, which began with an uprising of native Illyrian auxiliary recruits in 6 AD. Led by Bato the Daesitate, the Illyrian forces were supposed to join up with Roman forces to fight against the Marcomanni, but instead mutinied and defeated the Romans sent against them. It took the Romans three years to crush the revolt, which was considered to be the most difficult conflict Rome faced since the Punic Wars of the 3rd century BC. Since many of the Romans lacked rations and had to endure miserable conditions, they ultimately took out their frustrations on the enemy - brutally putting down the native Pannonians. The Illyrian people survived, however, with many considering that the near-genocide only made them stronger. By the 3rd century AD, the Illyrians were integrated to the degree that both Pannonia and Dalmatia were the main source of recruits for Rome's auxilia and Legions, which led to the majority of Roman Emperors of the late 3rd and 4th centuries AD hailing from the region.
