the site I am referring to is the newly discovered Roman fort near the confluence of the Werra and Fulda Rivers, far, far, further east than Kalkriese. Many other Augustan period finds have been found in these more easterly regions that far better fit Tacitus' description of the Varus engagements. I believe long before the mass celebrations scheduled for Kalkriese in 2009, we will have a much better understanding where the Varus disaster actually occurred, and it WON'T be at the site of their new multi-million Euro museum.<br>
