Germanicus' expensive campaigns excessively taxed the provinces to fund a three-year campaign against the Germans that took forces beyond the Rhine and as far as the Elbe.
In AD 21, Julius Florus among the Treveri and Julius Sacrovir with an army of 40,000 Aedui revolted against Rome. Sacrovir eventually gained control of Augustonum (modern day Autun). The Sequani eventually joined their neighbors the Aedui in the uprising.
Even though the revolt was eventually suppressed by Roman legions from the Rhine, it showed that anti-Roman feelings were still strong in Gaul.
