The quintessence of these partly contradictionary features (as far as I can make sense out of it :roll: ):
1.Coinage so found far during the last few weeks: Denars all in all 6 found: 1 (?) from Caracalla (211-217),2 from Elagabal (218-222),2 from Severus Alexander (223-235)
Coinage Expert Berger (Frankfurt) dates the denars from Severus Alexander as manufactured between 222 and 226 and the battle between 230 and 235. (Ed.: ?!)
2. Dr. Petra Lönne also presented an Arrowtip (3rd cent ?), also stating that the battlefield (as already said) spans 2000 x 500 Metres approximately, but may be even larger (longer than 2kms ?).
3. According to Prof. Michael Meyer: parts of ceramic pottery, charcoal and pig-bones suggest the existence of a cooking-place (on the hill ?).
4. There is also a lance-tip mentioned, but I'm not sure whether taht might be confused with the "Arrow-tip" .
More eventually tomorrow, when there hopefully will be more press-releases...
