The story of the famous battle of the Teutoburg Forest, the most complete defeat of the Roman Army in the west, which saw the destruction of three Roman legions by Germanic tribesmen.
'Quinctilius Varus, give me back my legions!' supposedly yelled Augustus Caesar when he received the news of the catastrophe in the Teutoburg Forest. One of the greatest military failures of the Roman Empire, Teutoburg Forest witnessed the near-total annihilation of three Roman legions at the hands of the German barbarians led by their Roman-educated chief Arminius.
