*BATTLE OF THE ‘TEUTOBURG FOREST’*
.
‘german’ –> hermann
(18/17 BC – AD 21)
(the ‘jesusera’)
.
(‘arminius’ was a chieftain of the Germanic Cherusci tribe who famously led an allied coalition of Germanic tribes to a decisive victory against three Roman legions in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in ‘9 AD’)
.
An auxiliary lieutenant to the Roman general Publius Quinctilius Varus, Arminius used his knowledge of Roman tactics to ambush and destroy the legions.
The defeat at Teutoburg would precipitate the Roman Empire’s permanent strategic withdrawal from Magna Germania, and the Romans made no more concerted attempts to conquer and hold Germania beyond the Rhine river.
(modern historians have regarded arminius’ victory as “Rome’s greatest defeat” and one of the most decisive battles in history)
(during the ‘Unification of Germany’ in the 19th century, ‘Arminius’ was hailed by nationalists as a symbol of German unity and freedom, and was celebrated as a national hero in his German name “Hermann”)
Following World War II, however, schools often shunned the topic since it had become associated with the militaristic nationalism of the Third Reich, and many modern Germans have not heard about Arminius.
