Kalkriese has nothing to do with the Teutoburg battles

Here´s also a refreshing new idea about the countermarks:

There was also a chain-mail chest-hook found at Kalkriese, with the inscription

M. AIUS I FABRICI

Which means M. Aius from the first legion of the fabricii (Legio I often referred her name to Gaius Fabricius Luscinus, who fought Pyrrhus, Legio I lost that name only when she came into Augustus "posession" after he had defeated Marcus Antonius)

There is a lead plumb bob from Kalkriese with an "I" on it, and several other finds with either an "I" or a "P" on them...

A Cavalry unit from the campaingns 14f. is also attested for Kalkriese, the inscription of a scabbard-hook is "Domitii", referring to Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus
