"The Batavians, who lived in the Netherlands at the start of the
Christian era were far more Roman than was previously thought. After
just a few decades of Roman occupation, the Batavians had become so
integrated that they cooked, built and bathed in a Roman manner. Dutch
researcher Stijn Heeren discovered this during archaeological
research."

The Batavian myth
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batavians#The_Batavian_myth
"In the 16th-century invention of a suitably antique origin myth for
the Dutch people that would be expressive of their self-identification
as separate from their neighbors in the national struggle with Spain
of the Eighty Years War for Dutch independence, the Batavians came to
be regarded as their eponymous ancestors."
