Thank you for your guidance throughout this entire process, for always asking me to think deeper, for challenging me to consider the connections between Germany, Rome, and memory work and for assisting me in finding the connection I was searching for between Arminius and archaeology. To my professor, Dr. Kerstin Barndt: It is because of you that this project even exists. Thank you for encouraging me to write this thesis, for helping me to become a better writer, scholar, and researcher, and for aiding me in securing funding to travel to the Museum and Park Kalkriese.

Chapter 1, Part 1 Chapter 1, Part 2. Strategic battle that echoes through history Very good read that blends history and archeology. Initially I enjoyed the author's account of his quest in locating Roman artifacts whilst based in Germany with the British Army. Download the best of Radio 3's Free Thinking programme. Now over the years dozens of alternate locations for the fight had been put forth, but Tony Clunn believed that due to some slight misinterpretations of Roman historical records and a close read of local topography the real location was about miles away in a series of dry track bottle necks between bogs that would have made perfect ambush points for the German hordes. Verified Purchase. When you first come into contact with the book, don't let the title fool you! Though not quite a well written as it could be, the book does capture you with the excitement of a major archeological discovery. Heuser eds.

    GLADIUS Estudios sobre armas antiguas, arte militar y vida cultural en oriente y occidente XXX (2010), pp. 117-136 ISSN: 0436-029X doi: 10.3989/gladius.2010.0006 WEAPONS AT THE BATTLEFIELD OF KALKRIESE ARMAS EN EL CAMPO DE BATALLA DE KALKRIESE POR ACHIM ROST* and SUSANNE WILBERS-ROST** ABSTRACT - RESUMEN - RÉSUMÉ Archaeological investigations have been taking place at the Kalkriese Hill in Northern Germany since 1987. Roman coins and military equipment are the result of a battle between Romans and Germans, probably the Varus Battle (A.D. 9). It is the aim of our research project to reconstruct the course of the battle. It has become apparent that one cannot deduct the intensity of fi ghting by the number of fi nds. Instead, we have to take into account the impact of post-battle processes on the archaeological record, such as rescuing of wounded soldiers, looting by the victors and body-stripping. This paper illustrates the fi nds and features from Kalkriese, especially from the main site «Oberesch», where most of the Roman artefacts as well as a rampart built by Germans as an ambush against Roman troops, and a series of pits containing the bones of the dead Roman soldiers were found. In addition, new methodo- logical approaches for the interpretation of ancient battlefi elds are presented. Desde 1987 se vienen realizando investigaciones arqueológicas en la colina de Kalkriese, en Alemania septentrio- nal.

Even the comitatenses armies were mostly pieced together from the remnants of the various civil war forces. Once again, however, this piece of fiction is just about plausible since Rome did traditionally take young hostages from princely or elite families that it had subdued and have them brought up with its own youths. You may republish if you include an active link to the original. The Romans managed to set up a fortified night camp, and the next morning broke out into the open country north of the Wiehen Hills , near the modern town of Ostercappeln. Tony Clunn see below , the discoverer of the battlefield, and a "southern-approach" proponent, believes that the battered Roman army regrouped north of Ostercappeln , where Varus committed suicide, and that the remnants were finally overcome at the Kalkriese Gap. You can't really call this a Vespian novel as they say about 4 words and never mentioned by name Will not stop me getting the next in the series when it comes out. See details for additional description. When the author started going from one time to another I started to get worried as I don't normally enjoy reading stories that bounce around like this; but it was written in such a seamless manner I looked forward to the different lenses.

A temporary exhibition was shown at three sites related to the events of 9AD to shed some light on the cultural background of the combatants involved; the conflict between the Roman Empire and Germanic tribes, culminating in this battle and further bellicose encounters, and the later reception of the historic events which led to the creation of a German national myth.

SMITH, BA, FRNS Page facing ‘Contents’ (such indications refer to the French Edition, Errance 1993) Cover Illustration Mid-third century cavalryman equipped to participate in the hippika gymnasia, after a drawing by P. Connolly for the Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum, Mainz, reproduced here with their kind permission. The chamfron and the medallion on the horse, the face helmet and the leg protectors were found in the Straubing Hoard (Keim and Klumbach, 1951). The painted shield comes from excavations at Dura-Europos, after the preliminary field reports from 1933-34 and 1934-35, published in 1939. With reference to the overall appearance of the cavalryman, the number of javelins and the way they are held in the left hand together with the shield, see Arrian, Tactica, who describes these equestrian games in detail.
