A brief survey of Romans in the territories now called Germany, from the first campaign to the establishment of Theodoric's kingdom in Italy (roughly). Not very detailed of course, given the restriction of 120 pages, but a good entry point as a succinct recap. The brief description of historians re-discovering and re-interpreting Roman history was the most interesting because it actually held new information (at least for me).

Die Roemer in Germanien gives an overview over the Roman history in conjunction with the Germanic tribes. It covers the campaigns to conquer the land up to the river Elbe, the relocation of some Germanic tribes, the influence the Roman way of life had on the life of the Germanic peoples etc.

The book is very short and if someone is familiar with Roman and/or Germanic history, the book doesn't offer anything new. But I'd recommend it for anyone who's starting to learn about that part of history.
