All the bits of Bavaria that truly matter are south of the Danube and were part of the old Roman province of Noricum.

I'm sure there's more than one of the 50 layers of Belgrade which Belgrade was built on top of that count as a Rome of some sort. You'd probably have to dig below Dar al Jihad.

Now, to be honest. I don't know a word about the germans.

The only thing I know about germany is when a german appears in my videogames, is usually a really cool guy. That theres a garden in germany that have a binary clock. I think they invented computers with the Z-1, Z-2, or something.
