Hi,
However one thing I would really like to know is how the archeologists came to the number of 1000 Romans from such finds... I admin I'm a little bit sceptical about this information. Anyone know anything more?
Greetings

Quote:To me this suggests that the Romans won - Germans would have been able to go back to the battlefield if they won, days or weeks later if necessary. Romans (being in hostile territory) may not have had that opportunity.Very interesting suggestion, Robert. Also the urge to recover lost equipment and especially metal parts wouldn't be that intensive in case of Romans. Unlike the Germans, they were very well supplied with arms and armour (especially with the metal peaces).
