Sextus Pompey? Sextus Pompey? Really?
How about Nautius Maximus? Or Biggus Dicus?
Ancient wokeness obviously lead to the disaster (or triumph, depending on which side you were on) of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.

Sextus was Pompey’s sixth kid, ‘r somethin’. In the HBO series “Rome”, the Quintus character may have been loosely based on Sextus, but afaik, there never was a Quintus Pompey.

So (1) they knew knew the legion was destroyed, (2) they knew where it happened, and (3) they knew where they’d been before. Basically a perfect control group to test the technique with.
This will perhaps lead to better understanding of the source of unknown finds down the road. Clever.

SunkenCiv,
As a person with a historical mindset.
I have to compliment your ability to ‘dig up’ news on archaeology.
Well done and Happy New Year.

Name traditionally given to the sixth born child. Given the rates of infant mortality, some of his older siblings probably died early and that’s why they wouldn’t be known to history.

I used to have a keychain like that ;)

So this is further confirmation of a location site considered most likely for the last 35 years or so. Northern Germany, west of Hanover but still south of Bremen. the use of the word pass in all historical descriptions had always lead me to believe it was further south in areas of more topography.
I wish I had been able to travel Germany and see that varied land first hand, but alas, it is still on my list.

That could be anything, if the Roman Empire said, you’re a sex toy, well, then, you’re a sex toy. :^o
