    Harzhorn appears to be the official designation for the major find I mentioned earlier in this thread. Current estimates now place the battle between AD 225 and 250. Coin finds include one from Caracalla, three from Elagabalus, and two from Severus Alexander. (One thing I learned from the most recent info is that legion pay in this period was 500 to 600 denarii annually, which corresponds in terms of purchasing power to 50,000 to 60,000 euros. I had no idea it was so high.) Anyway, some 800 artifacts have been found and a new campaign begins soon. I'll add updates as I hear things.
