You said Romans crossing the Rhine again. When did they cross the Rhine after nearly a thousand years?

I said doing so made them piss themselves. The implication was that the Varian disaster safeguarded Germanic independence, which the video I sent you explains how that can be rightly interpreted.

Obviously European and Roman history is more complicated than can be summed up in one sentence — it’s not a video game where you clear a level, or a fantasy adventure novel with a two-paragragh epilogue. Don’t be obtuse.

You said the Romans couldn't cross the line for nearly a thousand years. That implies they tried crossing nearly it again nearly a thousand years later.
