Most of it came from roman descriptive sources, which often in others cases have stretched the truth. Furthermore sometimes they are straight full of shit and make up bad guys.
I thought it was always known the Romans had invaded Germany in legion strength after teutoberg defeat.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
