The Battle of the Lupia River was fought in 11 BCE between a Roman force led by Nero Claudius Drusus and the Sicambri.[1] The Lupia River, now Lippe, flows westwards through the Ruhr Valley in North Rhine-Westphalia. Drusus defeated the Sicambri, and some of the defeated were moved to west of the Rhine River.

Aftermath

Drusus began the construction of several strongholds to secure the area between the Lippe and the Rhine.

gollark: Honestly, I think the current value is either:- kind of misrepresented- perpetuated by possibly accidental price fixing

gollark: I doubt the rate is higher than 60/month.

gollark: I'd probably just breed entirely with celestials (multiclutch) and then either trade them for CB hatchlings or offer them at random for funlolz.

gollark: For golds.

gollark: Also, there's not been any proposed better way which we don't have.
