I was surprised to read that anyone still thought the Teutoburg Forest battle was "the battle that stopped Rome". That contention came into vogue during the rise of the modern German state, but has no basis in ancient history. The Romans went right back out and pulverized the German tribes after TF, and built fortresses, cross-country walls, and towns. The climate was unattractive, and one part of Roman territory never got one of those fine Roman roads; in fact, it didn't get any fine road at all until the rise of Hitler. :')

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
