Archaeologists have found several fragments of wine amphorae as well as two field ovens in Paderborn, Germany. These were thought to be evidence of a Roman marching camp. Charcoal from the ovens have been carbon dated to AD 12, possibly from the Augustan Germanic campaign under Tiberius with Germanicus.

It’s interesting to know that the rather old technology of carbon dating was able to shed new light and date the military camp.

 

 

 

Here’s a good video on “Avenging Varus” that discusses the campaign in Germania (AD 10-14) under Tiberius and later Germanicus to revenge the disaster in Teutoburg Forest.
