Tom That sounds fascinating. I spent a few interesting minutes reading about Kalkriese. http://www.kalkriese-varusschlacht....ang=nl&cHash=9f608f645242d1077374403235cd2a55
No. Actually I still find it interesting. I'm curious if anyone ever sesrched for the location of the Angivari homelands? And I wonder where all that armor ended up. A thorough search of old German museums might turn up some Roman stuff? And I totally agree with the truth being found usually along the simplest explanations.It seems most german researchers who study the battle no longer say Kalkriese is the scene of Varus's defeat (except the museum staff and researchers at Kalkriese), but only a battle site of the Augustian period, of which there were several. The later ( 7 Years) Battle of the Angivarian Wall in 16 AD is one candidate. None of the roman sources mention a wall in the Varusschlacht. Kalkriese was in the territory of the Angivari tribe and had a wall discovered. The principle of 'Lets keep this simple', tells me that's the likely answer. That only roman artifacts/armor/weapons where found makes sense. The Angivari where there at the Varusschlacht where 20-30,000 sets of armor and weapons were captured. Much better stuff then the barbarian Germans where using at the time. One report says the poorest tribesmen carried only fire hardened sharpened spears.
Now say 'That is so interesting, now shut up and go away, cause it isn't that interesting'.

I like stories and mysteries.
