Dutch Archaeologists clash about city age...
#4
Quote:a Roman well made of barrels coming from Caligula's wineries (which apparently puts him at the sea near Katwijk for his sea shell collecting party) and the silver disc inscribed with a name found inside the Drusus encampment attributed to a high ranking Roman noble
I think those cases, put forward by Wynia and Haalebos, are both defendable, especially the Caligula example. The Aquilus medal is indeed more dubious, although the name is -combined with the rank= pretty rare.

But there's a difference. Wynia and Haalebos have announced these as hypotheses and are aware that their theory is precisely that: a theory. Our archaeologists discussing city rights, are unaware of the tentative nature of our reconstruction of Roman Law. We all know that people who confuse theories and facts, do not belong on universities. The system, as I said before, is rotten to the core.
