Massive gathering in Germania in 2009

[Tarbicus]

In my opinion, a big, "universal" event has to be done for a happy reason, i.e., a victory.... just for the "9" concurrence is really unappropriate.

I disagree Daniele. We're not here to ignore history, and given that AD 9 was one of the most important years in Roman military history it makes sense that we should give it much regard and importance.

Also, as the event's in Germany, and the victor was a German national hero, there will be plenty of scope for celebration :wink: And all that said, what's to celebrate over a Roman victory given the mass slaughter and enslavement that often went with it?

Have you not considered we'd be there to also commemorate the Romans?
