If Varus had been more successful, or Arminius less successful, is it possible that Rome would have conquered Germania up to the Elbe and then established this together with the Carpathians and the Dneister as its northern boundary? If Rome had gone this way then would Britannia have been left alone?
I know that some of this has been discussed in another thread (Britain defeats Roman Invaders)but here I am directly suggesting a reason for Rome to head east rather than north West.
