Thanks fieldmarshaldj. The whole screed is goldbug nonsense.
This year marks the 2000th anniversary of the battle that led to the annihilation of three Roman legions and changed forever the history of Europe. It was a tremendous shock for the Romans, who saw their mighty army destroyed by uncivilized barbarians.
And as GGG readers probably know, the modern myth that a single defeat "stopped Rome" is not only silly on its face, it's been overturned by more and more finds, as evidence of Roman preseence deep into what is now Germany have turned up. Most telling perhaps is Roman Copenhagen.
