Yep. I checked on a modern map and compared to the one drawn from Tacitus' "Germania". The province of Drenthe is East of what was known by Tacitus as the Frisii Maiores. According to good old Tacitus the province of Drenthe was then inhabited by the Chasvarii.<br>
Now what remains to be figured out is at what period was that site abandoned, or destroyed. The coins shown to illustrate the story are 2nd century AD.<br>
Maybe the place was active during the High Empire and was destroyed/abandoned during the great upheavals of the middle 3rd C.AD? <p></p><i></i>
