Quest for the Lost Roman Legions - Discovering the Varus Battlefield Clunn Tony Paperback
In AD9 three legions under the command of Quinctilius Varus were wiped out by Germanic tribes. Over a ten year period Tony Clunn, an amateur archaeologist and Major in the British army, systematically surveyed Kalkriese in northern Germany and, in conjunction with archaeologists, discovered numerous coins, military equipment and everyday items. Many theories surround the location of the massacre; this book may have the answer.
This is an unusual book because it combines an account of Clunn's dogged determination to prove his findings with a fictional account of the battle itself, drawn from the accounts of Tacitus, Cassius Dio and others, and written very much from a soldier's point of view.
