Weird Wars Rome: Legatum

The dark, dripping forests of Germania have long been a source of mystery and fear for Rome. These trackless lands and their barbaric inhabitants present an environment unlike anything else in the Known World. From the time of Julius Caesar, Germania has resisted the best efforts of Rome to bring the light of civilization to its benighted lands.   Multiple attempts to conquer or subdue the region culminated in the Varian Disaster of 9 AD, when German warbands destroyed three legions and ended forever any attempts by the Empire to spread beyond the Rhine. Forgoing expansion into this howling wilderness, Rome instead constructed the Limes Germanicus, a system of log walls, ditches, 900 watchtowers, and 60 legionary camps stretching more than 300 miles along the border of Germania Superior and Germania proper.
