    this can fill a hole day :), but i think its interesting

    he believe that kalkriese is the battle at pontes longi 15ad mainly because of tacitus, dio and florus II.

    halberstadt because of the location "te ut o burgi ensi saltu" = there, where the saltu (=latifundia) that was destroyed, being just grow up and secured by sword and tower (burgi=greek =tower, not turres)

    in his opinion the norther-harz area was a growing roman saltu. it has a special (good) microklimate. quedlinburg is still today famos for plants and growing.

    he also believe that the romans were defeat in open battle, because early and later army don´t had such "problems" like varus. for example, the battle at pontus longi is fought in castru formation.
