Nothing special, really. It is the description of a trip, and after mentioning Bielefeld, it says that "just outside Detmold is the Hermannsdenkmal, which commemorates the Roman revolt and victory". After that, more blah-blah about other places, like Lemgo, Minden, and Hamelin.
But it's in the newspaper that the Romans won the battle, so it's true. :wink:

Yeah, you'd think you're here with experts on RAT, but oh no, they don't even know whether the Romans did win! Puh, I'll search another history and reenactment forum! :lol:

Not that Metro is a quality newspaper, but it should be noted that this item is mentioned in an ad, not the paper's editorial.
