Roman battlefield found deep inside Germany

[john roberts]

Is a single inscription such as that on the dolabra considered sufficient to identify the presence of the IIIIth Legion? In WWII soldiers were always trading and swapping gear including insignia and distinctive bits of kit such as the famous V42 dagger of the US/Canadian First Special Service Force. My father came home from the Far East with a bunch of Free French and Foreign Legion badges he'd collected in various bars where Allied soldiers hung out. Maybe somebody won that dolabra in a crap game.
