Although early adopters of Roman material culture, the Treveri had a chequered relationship with Roman power. Their leader Indutiomarus led them in revolt against Caesar during the Gallic Wars; later, they played a key role in the Gaul revolt during the 'Year of the Four Emperors'. On the other hand, they supplied the Roman army with some of its most famous cavalry.
