...... and a new one at Haltern ! - Simplex - 10-07-2021
.....following aerial reconnaisance from 2011, the local archeologists went on to pursue the traces
of trenches , -- obviously roman ones.
It took so long because research at Olfen and Bielefeld-Sennestadt had priority.

In short: it is a marching camp dating before the regular to about 12/11 BC through which the
trenches of the later regular camp are cutting.
Size about 24 ha.
It matches well into the line of other "drusian" camps at Dorsten-Holsterhausen and Oberaden.

So, 3 legions, dated before to 12/11.. the Varian legions?

Hi Robert,
....chances are that at least the XIX may still have been garrisoned at Dangstetten (Küssaburg,D) those days.
(As a lead medaillon found there suggests)
The notes over at livius.og suggest that LLEG XVII and XVIII were assigned to the camps on the Lower Rhine and/or the Lippe.
So there is a certain likelyhood that both legions may have been temporarily stationed at Haltern that early.
