What did ancient Germany look like?

by Vikingbearlord

By ancient Germany, I'm referring to the period around the second century CE. Were there small towns? Did most people live in huts? I picture ancient Germany as densely forested with few inhabitants. How accurate is this?

Just a question: There was an answer recommending reading (albeit with a disclaimer about his veracity and motives) Tacitus here yesterday, but now all I see "there doesnt seem to be anything here". Why is that? Is recommending Tacitus against a rule?
