Read the legend "The Woodgatherers" related to Cologne and try the crossword
| When Agrippina's son Nero committed suicide, there were many fights in Rome. Vitellius wanted to be emperor, but some Romans recognised another emperor. He put a siege in Cologne and that's when the Cologne women emerged. The people of Cologne had enough to eat and drink, the only thing they lacked was firewood. They had to go out of the north gate into the woods to cut down trees so that they had enough firewood. Because they knew that Vitellius lurked in front of the city with his soldiers and could see when they came out of town to fetch the firewood, the people of Cologne invented a plan. One morning, the Roman soldiers took off with wagons and the woodcutters. Of course, this was reported to Vitellius, who gave the orders to his soldiers to block the way back through the north gate. In the evening, the woodcutters and the soldiers came back with the firewood from the woods, but Vitellius was waiting for them. He wanted to capture all the soldiers so that the people of Cologne had no more, and he could conquer the city. He told his own soldiers to stop and arrest the Cologne soldiers, but the moment they were stopped, they took off their helmets. The people hiding in these uniforms weren’t soldiers, but rather the Cologne women in uniforms of the Roman legionaries. The actual soldiers of Cologne were waiting behind the north gate to attack Vitellius and his soldiers. In the end, the people of Cologne got their firewood with a smart plan to defeat Vitellius. |
