Hi Arminius,
...I faintly remember we may have already (slightly) touched the subject of weapons technology (at least) here:
link from old RAT
link from old RAT
...surely a blacksmith didn't have the same "standing" in Roman society as it hat in germanic cultures ( e.g. as reflected in the "Nibelungenlied" and other similar sagas), but who said the romans did not "recruit" "technical personell" from abroad/occupied countries ? :mrgreen:
I've read the papers from Ilerup-Adal (they got their own website: [url:uajyd23u]http://www.illerup.dk/deepweb.php?top=30&language=1[/url]; in Danish, German, English), which I'd recommend, and DB Campbell benevolently "put my nose" on the Thorsberg finds.(making me spend nights reading instead of partying
)
More recent publications also mentioning other finding-places have been made available for the broader public in the "Varusschlacht" exhibiton catalogue.(in German)
I think some references have also been made in the "Battlefield found ..."-thread.(The first link above)
Happy reading 8) .
