| | In Roman times this was also the location of the Castra Vetera, a large military fort. | | | In the Middle Ages the tombstone was incorporated into the wall of a monastery on the Fürstenberg, and later still was taken to the town of Kleve, where Prince Moritz of Nassau-Oranien, governor of the Netherlands, decided to use it in his own grave monument. | | | Originally the above tombstone probably stood on the so-called Fürstenberg ("Prince Mountain") opposite the mouth of the Lippe river in the vicinity of the modern Dutch city of Xanten, site of the ancient Colonia Ulpia Trajana. |

| | When the Batavian leader Civilis captured the legionary base at Castra Vetera (near modern Xanten in Niederrhein, Germany), the commander of the Roman garrison, Munius Lupercus, was being sent to Veleda when he was killed en route. | | | Veleda was a virginal holy woman of the Germanic tribe of the Bructeri who achieved some prominence during the Batavian rebellion of 69 - 70 CE that was headed by the Romanized Batavian chieftain Civilis, when she correctly predicted the initial successes of the rebels against Roman legions. | | | When the pretorian trireme was captured, it was rowed upriver as a gift to Veleda. |
