The Legendary Battle of Teutoburg Forest: How Arminius Humiliated Rome!

In 9 AD, Arminius brought fear to the Roman Empire in the Teutoburg Forest by annihilating three legions, Legio XVII, XVIII, and XIX. The province of Germania was under Roman occupation and Varus was the legion general in charge of keeping the peace in the newly conquered territory. Arminius was a trusted commander of the auxiliary force in the Roman army and Varus was led into a trap as Arminius had a change of heart and betrayed him. He took the time to unite the Germanic tribes into a huge army of around 15,000 men. He fabricated a story by saying that the Germanics were planning a full-scale rebellion and advised Varus to start marching on each of the tribes and quell this rebellion in its infancy. As the legions marched towards the tribal villages, they were led through a dense and unhospitable forest called Teutoburg. After torrential rains, the roads through the forest were muddy and hard to traverse. Arminius demanded leave from the army in order to assemble the tribesmen loyal to Rome. Instead, he organized an ambush that would devastate the legions of Varus and eventually cause his death by suicide. This event caused so much panic and disgrace in Rome that the legions were never reformed again. This battle was realized using Rome 2 Total War.
