They say it's NOT Augustean but rather a marching camp from Maximinus Thrax' expedition, dated by arrow-point an other small parts like Hobnails.
(….. rather the complette and utter absence of augustean-era parts……)
Forgive them their unfitting depiction of a "typical" Roman legionary.
The course of movement rather suggesting actions against Germanics between (around) Hildesheim and (around) Magdeburg
That's it for now
BTW: This also should shed a bit of light on how "later" marching-camps looked.
