Velleda by Hippolyte Maindron 1839
"After the suppression of the Batavian revolt, the Romans captured Veleda (or offered asylum to her). This happened in 77. She is said to have served the Roman interests by negotiating with hostile Germans. It is not known to what incident(s) this refers, but it may be noted that in 83 or 84, the Romans forced the Bructeri to accept a new, pro-Roman king. Maybe the building of the Roman fort at Kneblinghausen, in Bructerian country, has something to do with it.
A Greek epigram found at Ardea (a few kilometers south of Rome) ridiculizes Veleda's prophetic talents. It has been said that this suggests that Ardea was her place of detention. However, this is far from certain."
