Romans vs. Germans

Okay, forget all the other stuff below. This is really cool. Think of the opening scene of Gladiator. My favorite quote from the article: "We will need to take a new look at the sources." Surprisingly this happens often. The Roman defenses in the Germanic area were sparse at best, and the Romans never established, as far as we know, a definitive and stable line of defense. Add this to the fact that the fortifications they were building were not built to last, and we end up with little knowledge of what actually took place and less knowledge about where it took place. This is a field that is open to much discovery, as we can see from this article.
