Nell'autunno del 9 d.C., le legioni dell'imperatore Augusto subirono una sconfitta devastante nel cuore di una foresta in territorio germanico. Ventimila soldati furono massacrati - oltre ai mercanti, alle donne e ai bambini al seguito dell'esercito - e Augusto, sconvolto dal disastroso episodio, ridimensionò l'intero disegno espansionistico di Roma. Il confine dell'impero fu riportato lungo il Reno, che divenne la linea di demarcazione tra il...

In AD 9, a Roman traitor led an army of barbarians who trapped and then slaughtered three entire Roman legions: 20, 000 men, half the Roman army in Europe. If not for this battle, the Roman Empire would surely have expanded to the Elbe River, and probably eastward into present-day Russia. But after this defeat, the shocked Romans ended all efforts to expand beyond the Rhine, which became the fixed border between Rome and Germania for the next ...

The barbarians who destroyed the glory that was Rome demolished civilization along with it, and for the next four centuries the peasants and artisans of Europe barely held on. Random violence, mass migration, disease, and starvation were the only ways of life. This is the picture of the Dark Ages that most historians promote. But archaeology tells a different story. Peter Wells, one of the world's leading archaeologists, surveys the archaeolog...
