Roman battlefield found deep inside Germany
#64
Quote:"-The fact that the weapons were left "on site" still riddles the excavators and an international circle of scientists/scholars will be constituted to discuss the "open" questions"

Either side would have "policed" the battlefield after a battle. The Romans
to keep weapons and metal to make weapons from the enemy and for salvage purposes - The "Barbarians" to reuse the weapons and metal.
.

Further north the "barbarians" would happily sacrifice equipment from even larger forces, so I don't think salvaging for reuse was an imperative
for the barbs

Maybe the victorious force - whoever it might be - was pressed for time
and couldn't search the the battlefield as thoroughly as they may have wished.

Anyway is the lack of germanic equipment so far puzzling.
