Episode description

 Drusus lies dead after 30 days of pain and misery in the forests of Germany.  Tiberius, his brother, stands looking over his beloved brother's body and mourns his loss.  However Tiberius can not grieve for too long because he is in a crisis.  He needs to get his brother safely back to Rome so he can be given a proper funeral. However he is deep in the heart of Germany, surrounded on all sides by hostile tribes, and is relying on an army who is on the verge of breaking down completely.  Things have never seemed so dire for the Roman army in Germany before.  So join in as we discuss the final trip of Drusus, soon to be, Germanicus as his brother tries to bring him home to rest.
