Summary:

In a forest in Niedersachsen ( Northern West Germany) the remains of at least 600 Weapons dating back to ancient times have been discovered. It is believed that they are the outcome of a battle between Romans and Germans 200 years after the Varus Battle, which took place 9 A.D. The discovery may be crucial to correcting the histocial view, because it prooves that the Romans did not surrender and withdraw as recently believed, but conducted larger military operations in Germany, involving Roman troops and not only German mercenaries. Archeologists have recovered at least 600 weapons while beeing protected from the public in the rural region of Niedersachsen. Among the artifacts found were arrows containing DNA samples and weapons of all sorts. The finding is due to a surprise discovery of a resident, who found antique bottles on his ground last year and just recently contacted the Archeological institute to present his discovery, after which a closer look was payed to the Area. The recovered artifacts will be presented on an exibition on Monday.

edit..

- Historians estimate the number of Legionaires in the Battle to be around 1000, and say the weapons are good enough preserved to even reconstruct where bigger numbers of arrows were aimed at.

Roman Battlefield Discovered in Germany
December 15, 2008
Associated Press

KALEFELD-OLDENRODE, Germany - Archaeologists say they have uncovered a third-century battlefield in northern Germany which could prove that Roman legions were fighting in the region much later than historians have long believed.

Rome's most famous incursion into the north of modern Germany came in A.D. 9, when Roman soldiers were defeated by Germanic tribesman at the Battle of the Teutoberg Forest.

However, the newly uncovered battlefield near Kalefeld-Oldenrode, south of Hanover, is some 200 kilometers (124 miles) northwest of the Teutoberg Forest and appears to date to between A.D. 180-260.

At a press conference Monday, archeologists said they used coins and weaponry excavated from an area 1 1/2 kilometers (one mile) long and 500 meters (1/3 of a mile) wide to date the battlefield.

Petra Loenne, an archaeologist for the state of Lower Saxony, said she and her colleagues have found 600 artifacts, including spears, arrowheads, catapult bolts and dishes at the site of a struggle that might have involved up to 1,000 Roman fighters.

Guenther Moosbauer, an expert at the University of Osnabrueck who studies Roman-German history, said he suspects the battle might have been started by a legion seeking revenge after tribesman in A.D. 235 pushed Roman troops south of the Limes Germanicus, a ring of forts that separated the empire from unconquered land to the north and east.

"We will need to take a new look at the sources," Moosbauer said.
