Interesting, the German wikipedia article (that is considerably longer) doesn't mention anything of the sort, only that we don't know. There's even a lengthy discussion (and a separate article [0]) about how we don't even know the location of the battle, so any statements about the battle based on archeological evidence should be taken with a huge grain of salt (there are some candidates, and there's even a giant statue at a supposed location, but that has more to do with nationalism than archeology). Sounds like it might be worth adding a [citation needed] to the English version.
