There is a reason the Mongols, the Russians, the Germans (several times), the French all tried and had horrible trouble doing so, and that was well beyond this period, when population centers really began to be a thing. I think the forests of central and north-eastern Europe would have been just like the forests of southeast Asia were for the Chinese sure, you could take bits and pieces of them, but holding them was just a logistical nightmare. The massive forests, the lack of places to requisition supplies, the lack of forage, the swamps, the effects of disease, the harshness of the winters (and it isn't like they would have been able to just backtrack rapidly to safe places to winter).

The logistics were just too much to handle. I don't think any force in the ancient world could have conquered and controlled central and northeastern Europe at the time.

The Romans were remarkable at logistics, but they weren't gods. I think you are giving the Romans too much credit.
