Add article description

Alpinius Montanus (fl. 1st century CE) was one of the Treviri, a tribe of the Belgae, the indigenous peoples living in northern Gaul.[1] He was the commander of a cohort in the army of the Roman emperor Vitellius, and was sent into Germany after the Battle of Bedriacum in the year 69.[2] Tacitus mentions that Montanus and his men accepted the Vitellians' defeat by the Flavians and felt little attachment to either side.[3] Together with his brother, Decimus Alpinius, he joined the revolt of Gaius Julius Civilis against Roman rule in the next year.[4] He was one of those who crossed the Rhine to try to rally support for the rebellion among the peoples of Germania Libera.[4]
