In January 89, Saturninus led a revolt. He expected his Germanic allies to cross the Rhine to support him, but they were prevented by a sudden thaw of the river, and the revolt was quickly put down by Domitian's generals Lucius Appius Maximus Norbanus and the future emperor Trajan. Afterwards, Norbanus burned Saturninus' letters in an attempt to avoid implicating others. However, Domitian had numerous others executed with Saturninus, displaying their heads on the rostra at Rome.
. . . Domitian went to war against the Chatti in 83–85, who were north of Frankfurt (in Hesse, named after them). At this time the first line, or continuous fortified border, was constructed. It consisted of a cleared zone of observation, a palisade where practicable, and wooden watchtowers and forts at the road crossings.
