Episode 32: Reaching the Elbe and the fall of a hero

 In today's episode we look at Drusus's fourth and final campaign into Germania. This campaign has the typical battles and setbacks that the Romans are use to but it comes with an extra twist.  This time Drusus has gone too far and spirits have intervened.  Ghosts walk through the camps delivering omens, wolves howl and women scream throughout the night on all sides in the dark forest, and the sky itself is streaked with the stars racing towards the earth. Meanwhile the Roman army sit in their tents praying for daylight and the safety of the Rhine.  Explore with us as we discuss the nightmare that the Roman army goes through this fourth campaign and how Drusus, the conquering hero of the Roman Empire, dies in the never ending forests of Germany.
