    "Berlin - New finds at a well-preserved ancient battlefield in the north of Germany are not only rewriting geo-political history, but also revealing some of the secrets of Rome's military success.
    Until only two years ago, northern Germany was believed to have been a no-go area for Roman troops after three legions were wiped out by German tribesmen in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in AD 9."

    The Romans frequently re-entered Germany in many a punitive attack.

    So does this mean Germany is due for another eastern excursion?

    In fact they returned 6 years after. Germanicus Julius Caesar
    Overrun the German tribes. And crucified some Arminius relatives.
