Should filming be on the actual battle site?

To lend authenitcity to the storytelling, would filming on or near the battle site be a good idea. There are pros and cons to consider such as the accurate recreation of the battle to the possibility of a film crew disturbing the archaeological preservation of the site. Any comments?

no
somewhere near or in a different country like scotland or ireland as you want the crap weather,and the same type foiledge,the main site will be protected by german government laws.

Would be difficult as some of it is under archeological excavation and part of the varus museum.

Why not use germany after all thats where the battle was- surely moer authentic. Funny how we associate bad weather with battles! Saying that it adds to atmosphere and it was nearly winter when the troops were ambushed but hard to find the sort of terrain to match that of the original battle.
