Rewriting Roman history

It was thought that after their defeat in the battle in the Teutoburger forest, the Romans retreated behind the Limes wall and never operated deep inside Germania anymore. But a new discovered, vewry huge ancient battlefield far north of the Limes, suggests that Roman armies continued to operate in strength far north of the Limes for another two hundred years.

German TV documentary news said it is maybe the greatest ancient battlefield ever discovered. Due to hundreds and hundreds of pieces found, it already rates as one of the most important finds in Roman archeology. The battlefield is at least 0.5 by 1.5 km, and probably around a thousand Romans participated. Archeologists cautiously assume that they probably have won. Since they were attacking from the North, it is concluded that Roman operations at that time still reached even farther to the North.
