The year is 9 AD Rome is in shock! News spreads like wildfire that the general Publius Quinctilius Varus and three legions have fallen into a deadly ambush in the Teutoburg Forest. Germanic tribes led by Arminius a Cheruscan prince and former auxiliary officer in the Roman army have killed over 18,000 Romans in battles lasting several days. Varus took his own life on the battlefield. Ancient historian Reinhard Wolters has been researching the historical, philological and archaeological sources of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest for decades. On this basis, he has reconstructed the causes, course and consequences of the events and written an informative and exciting book about them. His successful work attracted considerable attention in 2009 during the discussion about Kalkriese as the possible site of the bloody tragedy. In this revised edition, the author now presents the latest findings on the legendary Clades Variana.
