9 AD: In the depths of the Teutoburg Forest, in a landscape riddled with swamps, Arminius, son of the prince of the Cherusci, leads an alliance of six Germanic tribes against three Roman legions of the commander Varus. In one pass, almost twenty thousand Romans are mercilessly massacred. Fewer than two hundred ever make it back across the Rhine. Three legionary eagles are lost - an immeasurable shame for Rome. How did it come about that Arminius, raised as a Roman, turned his back on the Roman Empire and committed a betrayal - a betrayal of such gigantic proportions that it reverberates to this day?
The greatest victory of a man in Germania Magna. And Rome's greatest defeat. A timelessly fascinating chapter of history, excitingly and cleverly told. Skilfully interwoven with the successful "Vespasian" series.
