The Roman Battles
Well, I have been asked when my site will be finished. For these Roman battles I will now list the ones I will write about. I'll get to them when I can. Those that are done, just click the battle name. This page alone is for people who just need the dates. Many battles are written as parts of my Life of Gaius Julius Caesar. Some will be debated because there dates are uncertain. If anyone wants to mail me some explainations I'll be much appreciative. More battles will be added.

For this battle, I'm still unclear about the exact dates, so I based the dates on the modern German celebration of it. However it is not implausible since it would take about 7 days or so to get 3 legions to here from the summer camp going towards the Rhine, with camp followers of course. More battles will be listed shortly! Thanks for viewing!
