Roman Camp Found Near the Elbe

[Anomalocaris]

I suspect it wasn't the will of Augustus that stayed the hand of the successive emperors. Rather it was the appreciation that Germany lacked the basic social and economic infrastructure, and as a result wouldn't repay imperial treasury for the cost of any conquest for many decades, if ever.

Sort of. 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.

Divide by ten any roman claims of enemy body count, and the numbers would usually still be respectable for major compaigns.
