Title: Good Archaeology
Review: Even though the search for the battle site is somewhat disjointed, I enjoyed the narrative, how a long, long mystery was solved.I am sure that the Germans enjoyed it too, they were enamored of Arminius since Tacitus was published in Germany in 16th century (for all the importance of this battle, there was no 'folk memory of it).I would point out several things in the fictional narrative. We do not know what Arminius' German name was. Herman is a 16th century and later construct. Greeks and Romans did not use slaves at the oars of their ships, no matter what you could see in 'Ben Hur'. The oarsmen were hired and paid, and dismissed after finishing voyage.Theft was considered a civil matter, so the trial of the two German tribesmen is VERY fictional.Setting aside the fiction, I recommend it for archaeologists!
