Thanks for your reply.

“Eating is a big deal for me and my wife is skillful in the kitchen.”

My wife is a superb cook. One son was a chef for decades.

All of our family are great in the kitchen.

One son, the former chef and I are excellent outside grillers. Our grandson is good in the kitchen and a good griller.

There's been a resurgence of interest in the Varian disaster perhaps due to the book "The Battle that Stopped Rome" [sic]. Any loss of a legion isn't unlikely to lead to the retirement of the numeric ID, quite likely due to superstition and bad joojoo over their loss. Ultimately it is meaningless. Not only did the Roman Empire continue to settle east of the Rhine, in the past 20 years a Roman cemetery was uncovered by accident (construction, leading to rescue archaeologists being called in to excavate a possible medieval/dark ages burial ground) -- in Copenhagen. The Romans operated in the Danish peninsula and cleared it out completely, apparently to control trade in and out of the Baltic. More discoveries will likely continue to pop up
