Quote:I understood there was a camp found? Were these people writing fantasy too?It is a bit complicated. The v-shaped trenches and the wall are identified by the excavators as being buildt by Germanics. There is no proof whatsoever for this hypothesis, though. The technology of the wall is certainly Roman, the hypothesis is that the Germanics had learned this way of constructing during their service a auxiliaries. However, no proof. Since there was only one single item of Germanic descent found at Kalkriese at all, we even might hypothesize Romans fighting Romans there, or Germanics fighting with Roman equipment, which they got after the Varus battle: with arguments just as valid as those used for the wall being buildt by the Germanics....
