General Saint Clair, in 1791/2, believed the same thing when he forced the newly minted US Army to march against the Indian tribes under President Washington's tenure. But like Varus, his march cost many men, and Washington lost valuable US regiments.
I think this is not just about Arminius' betrayal and Varus' gullibility, but also the problem to hold a difficult territory with 3 Legions that was gained by 11 Legions. So Tiberius contributed to the defeat by withdrawing 8 of the legions with him....
It's highly similar to when President George Washington's military leadership & generals were utterly reckless & incompetent during the Wabash campaign in the 1790s. They lost a lot of men and literality regiments during the campaign akin to Varus's march.
In hindsight Ilyria was way more important than germania. Mind you that one revolt there almost toppled the whole of the roman empire, while in germania the germans had always a pretty hard time to cross the fortified rhine, but yes it was still dumb to let such a ferocious land be guarded by 3 legions
To be fair It was either loosing Germania (which doesn't have loads of resources or riches) or loosing other roman territories more useful for their central economy. They couldn't keep all that ground.
I believe it is in Tacitus that the fates of captured legionaries are recorded. Some were sacrificed to Germanic gods, but most were sacrificed to something translated as "the algurythm".
@@GAarcherhe didn't do much, he did a lot more politically and in Illyria. His father was the only very successful Roman against the Germans until the Marcomannic wars.
I mean not really. If you compare it to Cannae and other major losses where they lost over 70,000+ soldiers. 15,000 is a pretty small defeat in the grand scheme of things if we compare it to other losses in their history
@@jamesschaller753 As I understand it, Rome's military was more professional at this time. Meaning man for man, the military was stronger, but also more expensive. Rome didn't have an expansive empire back during Cannae that required a large military presence throughout the region. Those 80,000 were men taken off the streets and trained and equipped in short order, and while they would be sorely missed, it would not be for their military prowess. Losing a large force abroad in the field would have after shocks throughout the empire. It took years to prepare and position those legions. Losing them reset the board in Germany.
This must be one of your best, if not the best, video narration ever from you. You had me glued to the screen, despite already knowing the outcome. The daunting doom music and your narration killed it. Well done, man, well done.
Say what you will. Arminius and this battle was probably one of the main reasons that provincial soldiers always got stationed in the other end of the empire from their home province. Atleast that is my amateur historian take on it.
"Varus Quintilius, descended from a famous rather than a high-born family, was a man of mild character and of a quiet disposition, somewhat slow in mind as he was in body, and more accustomed to the leisure of the camp than to actual service in war. That he was no despiser of money is demonstrated by his governorship of Syria: he entered this rich province a poor man, and left this poor province a rich man." - Velleius Paterculus, Roman History
@@brainflash1 Honestly, we're all armchair historians right now . I think most people including me would have suffered the same faith in this woods. It's an ambush nonetheless and even today after hundreds of years of cutting them down, where our forests still consist in germany they're deep....and he being in the north east where It's rather rainy I can't fathom how hard it would be to walk through literal mud after thousands of others walked through it before you.
The Germans did what others could not, but deep down there must have been thousands of tribes who were wishing this. I never get tired of this Narrators voice. To me he is right up there with Sir David Attenborough.
Na the Persians did worst than this they even captured an emperor and possibly tortured him to death and killed one of the three Triumvirate Crassius although they were an advanced empire themselves

IMO Armenius gets much too less credit in a historical and military sense. He swallowed his pride and hate for the romans for such a long time and so good that nobody expected him to ever betray the romans. He planned this so meticulously and destroyed three entire legions piece by piece without ever risking to lose.
Can’t imagine the fear alone of walking through a silent scary forest like that on top of being chased and stalked to death by the Germans it must have been a true horror movie and absolutely terrifying
Fantastic presentation with beautiful Latin pronunciation - my favorite moment in history - Arminius had the Heil - he could not be defeated 🔥🔥🔥👍 Can't wait for part 2
Great video! I had forgotten that Varus was a coward and took his own life instead of standing up and facing the enemy. He thought he was going on parade and died the biggest fool in Roman history. Varus and the legions got what they deserved.
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage video about Teutoburg Forst battles, which were Roman legions exterminated completely by Germanic tribes warriors whom ledger by a Arranous commanders( betrayed Romans in that challenge ) after 10 years same Arranous murdered by Germans themselves. This magnificent episode was shared by an amazing ( History Marche) channel . Thanks for sharing.
I am from near that region where the battle took place and Arminius was only called Hermann beginning in the 16th Century AD. Probably it was Martin Luther (the person who started the separation of the catholic church) who first called Arminius Hermann.

"The Romans are no more", he said....That's what he thought and was hoping for. But he only made Rome angry. Poor Augustus, I can easily imagine how desperate he must have felt. 🤯😭😵💫
Cause hollywood wants you to think the bad Romans were defeated in two hours of unorganised cinematic fightings by the good germans instead of in almost 4 days of miserable and constant brutality, violence and fighting in the mud mixed with blood. Both sides did unimaginable brutalities to win this battle, for the Romans to at least try to flee from it and for the Germans to inflict a loss as impactful and devastating as possible. There was no hero in that forest.
