They waited two hundred years for a punitive raid?

I'm sure it was a punitive raid. But probably for something the Germans did in AD 234...

Wasn't Thrax the emperor who was 8 feet tall?

:’) It wasn’t a punitive raid for the Varian disaster. We’re lucky to have the amount of documentation that we do — most of the military and diplomatic correspondence was lost long, long ago, and there were no newspapers. What Thrax was responding to will probably never be known.
