If you ever listen to podcasts give Mike Duncan's The History of Rome a try. I'm just over halfway done and can't think of a better thing to listen to while I'm at work.

I agree the situation was much more fluid that is commonly believed. The history books suggest Verus was defeated, the Legions withdrew and the Romans threw up an Iron Curtain.
