Roman gold coinage spotted at Kalkriese
(subpic):
Goldcoins of the Gaivs/Lvcivs-type as shown at the Museum Park at Bramsche-Kalkriese.
Where had the legendary "Hermanns_Schlacht" [German for "clades variana") been staged?
Traces recently spotted at Kalkriese confirm the Thesis that a roman army had gone down completely in the times of emperor Augustus.
Bramsche. In the course of excavations at Kalkriese near Osnabrück, archeologists found 8 roman goldcoins from the times of emperor Augustus. Experts do appraise this as prove for Kalkriese to be a possible Location of the legendary clades variana. This find is extraordinary, says chief excavator Dr.Salvatore Ortisi from Osnabrück University.Finds of roman goldcoins are extremely rare.
This sensational find confirmed that the battlefield under research at Kalkriese has to be dated to the times of emperor Augustus (63 BC-14AD), Ortisi said. At this historical battle of Germanics against the Romans the troops of roman commander-in-chief (pvblivs qvinctilivs) Varus sufferd a bloody defeat. The germanics have been led by the cheruscan noble Herrman, who is remembered by a monument near Detmold/Lippe.
The coins had been struck around 0 AD at Lugdunum(Lyon ,F) and represent a year's pay for an ordinary soldier.
It's most likely that they all were contained in one purse that someone tried to hide while in utmost danger.

On the frontside the coins show the head of emperor Augustus- On the backsides, the imperial Princes Gaivs and Lvcivs Caesar have been depicted. Between those 2 shields, lances and croziers (litvi)are shown- an allusion to the fact, that both had been designated as successors to Augustus. The imprintments of all coins are alike, save for one, where Gaivs and Lucivs carry lances and litui shown mirrored.
This year the excavations are staged north of the main battle area. According to Ortisi new finds point towards the fact that the battle area is larger than previously thought. The known extension of the battleground was 6 ha.
The excavators presume that there may be traces of the battle as far off as up to 4 km.
According to Ortist the finding spot had been a swampy down 2000 years ago. Explaining the find could be retreating moves of roman soldiers in this place. Near this place finds of other roman coins and remains of military equipment have also been made. So in the future other interesting finds are to be expected.

NEW FIND : Varian Battle larger than previously thought.
At Kalkriese archeologist recently found an "Ass" , a roman coin from the times of emperor Augustus (top left) and a bolt-tip of a torsional artillery-piece (low left). This too originates from that (very) era.
The grounds at Kalkriese, where Romans and Germanics are thought to have fought in 9AD, obviously is markedly larger than previously thought. Archeologist did spot traces leading further northward.
Bramsche. Scientists have begun wizh excavations once again in the park of the Varusschlachtmuseum at Kalkriese. They are hoping for new findings about the course of the battle, which would enable them to understand the actions of 9AD even better, says Dr. Salvatore Ortisi. "I keep expecting many surprises.
The research on the "Area Of Conflict Nothern Wiehen Maountains" is by no means finished. On the contrary they've rather just begun".
Dr. Ortisi went on stressing that the battlefield at Kalkriese is one of the most important roman finding-spots in Germany. During the past years the taem had gained a more differentiated picture of the events round the earthen ramparts. It is assumes that the Germanics had build the as an ambush for roman commander Varus and his legions.
Evidently the areas involved in combat were significantly more extended than the scientist had presumed before, Ortisi accentuated: "Combat situations show up clearly now in the germanic settlements around this area as well as flight movements of roman troops northward into the Great Moor."
By ways of an prospection-trench on an area of 4m wide and 150m long there now shall be explored whether there are further earthworks of a germanic ambush or roman fortifications.
Besides this, the archeologists hope for "speaking" finds which give more hints towards the roman Units involved. The team has already spotted some pieces, a bronze-ring of a scabbards hinge, parts of silver plates/sheets and various nails.
