sep 11, 16 - Battle of the Angrivarian Wall

Description:

Under Germanicus, the Romans marched another army, along with allied Germanic auxiliaries, into Germania. He forced a crossing of the Weser near modern Minden, suffering losses to a Germanic skirmishing force, and forced Arminius' army to stand in open battle at Idistaviso in the Battle of the Weser River. Germanicus' legions inflicted huge casualties on the Germanic armies. A final battle was fought at the Angrivarian Wall west of modern Hanover, repeating the pattern of high Germanic fatalities, which forced them to flee beyond the Elbe. Germanicus, having defeated the forces between the Rhine and the Elbe, then ordered Caius Silius to march against the Chatti with a mixed force of three thousand cavalry and thirty thousand infantry and lay waste to their territory, while Germanicus, with a larger army, invaded the Marsi for the third time and devastated their land, encountering no resistance.

The Randingi are completely devastated in the attack, with only Sigebert surviving, apparently the effect of the Bloodstone jewel, which is looted by the Romans afterwards.
