It's going to be a rough road ahead for these guys. Could y'all imagine going on campaign after the massacre of Teutoburg?? Not knowing what's exactly in those dark woods, what stratagems the enemy will pull. Auxiliary's that may or may not be reliable, Thousands of miles from home against a determined enemy that knows your tactics perfectly. Great video and a great break down of the battle. Definitely one of the best one sided victories of the campaign. Looking forward to more! Cheers
I sometimes wonder if it's the lead poisoning that made Romans march back into the meatgrinder over and over. Think about Hannibal's massacring of 16 legions worth of soldiers at Cannae. Or their initial lost battles against Pyrrhus. Beating the Romans in a battle somehow just made them more willing to fight. Teutonberg was more of a strategical scare, 1. most of the troops being engaged elsewhere at that specific time. 2. but mostly because there was the perception of unification under Arminius. The Battle itself, without context, was trivial. The Romans were still very confident in a pitched battle. The Germans were still sulking about in forests, terrified of facing the Romans in the open. Rome had much worse defeats before. They suffered much bigger massacres. They had lost more eagle standards then 3 on other battles. Several times. It's that those tribes became and fought unified out of the blue, on a frontier that was undermanned against resisting an invasion. The soft underbelly of Rome was, for the time, exposed. If Arminius and his coalition wanted to, they could have marched on Rome. This strategical nightmare scenario was what sent shivers down the spines of Romans back in Rome. The danger would no longer be at some distant frontier that doesn't affect anyone living in the city of Rome. But, it didn't happen and Rome quickly focused on ununifying those tribes, by targeting Arminius and his tribe.
Even more so is how the Roman's believed in sorcery and mysticism and were quite afraid of Germany and Britain. Roman's viewed Germans at the time in the same way we perceive Vikings today. Giant wild men with witches and other stuff on their side. The Germans brought there women who would scream incessantly during battles, I would bet this would freak anyone out.
Nice video ❤ ! The Campaign is going to be long and brutal and this battle was one of the great victories for rome to avenge their honour after the disaster at teutoborg forest
Damn. Arminius' decisive right-flank ambush could had been more devastating. Too bad the Cherusci warriors with Arminius have such poor discipline, attacking without orders too early. Had they not had ruined the element of surprise and got Roman and auxiliary troops to reinforce their own right flank, Arminius' forces could had defeated Germanicus there. All in all, Arminius may had lost because some of their warriors can't keep their egos and bloodlust under control.
A wonderful Historical Video Appeared Rome Armies discipline , Battle field Experience & Commander Talent capability were eliminated Militia tactics threats Several times .Rome Army Avenged their Honor after the Rome Solders Slaughtered at teutoborg Forest
Such continuous warfare against the Germanic blood only hardened their resolve. The rise of Gothic, Frankish and Lombardian Kingdoms was a logical conclusion, just like how the constant excursion of the Chinese to the Northern Steppe created the Xiongnu Confederacy.
Too nice video ..about defeated leading of Arminians ...labeled as a probability of his severa continues defeated leads front Rome empire armies.. caused his assassination by Garmanic warriors after 10 years of his loudly victory ✌ in teutoborg forest
Thank you so much for sharing with me this fragment of history. The Bible foretells a time when peace will be achieved not through mankind. Psalm 46:9 says regarding the Creator, Jehovah God: “He is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth.” Jehovah God will accomplish true peace by means of his Kingdom, for which many sincere people have repeatedly prayed Matthew 6:9, 10: "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth." His Kingdom is not an elusive condition of the heart; it is a real government through which God will establish peace from one end of the earth to the other. The inspired prophet Isaiah foretold that subjects of that government will not “learn war anymore.” (Isaiah 2:4) By means of a worldwide educational program, people will learn to live in peace and thus “beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears.”
Really glad this is a four-part series, where most UA-cam channels had two or less on Teutoberg and its aftermath/revenge. ⚔️
This is perfect for working from home. I can`t wait for part 4!
Working on it as we speak!
Once again a very interesting video going into great detail on this battle. Thank you!
What a coincidence, i am currently reading Germanicus's bio

Romani, GO HOME!.
Imagine a time when you could take over the "world" with 5,000 solid soldiers.

No one ever went "Arminius, give me back my barbarians"?
I just realised your mix of battle animations and in-person appearance is super unique! Does any other History UA-camr do that?
Armchair historian
Nice video ❤ ! The Campaign is going to be long and brutal and this battle was one of the great victories for rome to avenge their honour after the disaster at teutoborg forest
They had the Nervii to get Chatii with Rome
Love this mini series cant wait for the next part!
Always good to learn a bit of detail.
"Varus give me back my legions!"
Extremely enjoyable viewing. Subscribed, will be watching the rest!
Glad to hear it!
Great account - Arminius is fascinating.
LOVE THESE VIDEOS. Please more videos

Nice video. Were going to see a bit more of this in t he future I'm sure of it.
That's the plan!

Shame Germanicus never ascended the throne.
Yes. If he did then the empire would have reached greater heights, probably conquering Germania
Please make some videos on Alfanso 1 of Aragon.
Imagine Vietnam lasting like, 400 years. Slave Economies are hungry hungry hippos.
The Roman Republic once went 20 years without war. This was viewed with dire concern by most.
Alot better look and sound. Impressive. Good job. Nice shirt. Now green screen and costumes of armies.lol
👍
