Good old Germanicus ~ it does make you wonder what would have happened if he'd not been recalled after his successes, and had instead been encouraged to conquer the rest of Germania ~ one wonders even if he may have eventually been able to subdue Magna Germania in the same way Caesar had done with Gaul?
As far as the lost Eagles go, the fact that two/possibly all three 'where' eventually recovered from the Teutoburg forest disaster demonstrates that even Romes enemies didn't feel inclined to melt down their most precious spoils of war, this shows a will to preserve them by those who must have despised them the most ...so it does (still) beg the question where are they now?
