Kalkreise dates to 15-16 AD Germanicus Campaign-NOT Varus!

[Chariovalda]

Quote:</em></strong><hr>More serious indeed is the criticism from the Tübinger numismatcian Reinhard Wolters, who has re-evalued the coin finds, and proposes that issues dating between 9 and 16 AD do not come from Varus, but from a later battle.<hr><br>
<br>
Unfortunately, it appears Wolters published this in one of the "Klio" issues in 2003. Well, Klio costs 200+ euros per 2 issues (that's a whole year's worth) and it doesn't sell separate articles on-line, like many decent scientific journals, so...<br>
<br>
And you read the article too fast, Vorty. The argument is, like I wrote before, that the ABSENCE of the Lugdunum II as might no longer be proof for the dating of the Kalkriese encounter BEFORE 10 AD. It might - just might - have taken place between 12 and 14 AD, before - so Wolters, if the Spiegel article is right - the Lugdunum II as was coined, again, according to Wolters' controversial theory.<br>

For those of you who can read German, it might be useful download the following pdf file:<br>

<br>
It's a fairly recent (2002) overview of the literary and archaeological evidence concerning the location of the battle.<br>
And unlike Klio, it's for free...<br>
