Teutoburg forest was perhaps just as awful for the Romans. These 2 battles sent ripples through the empire.

And then Carthage was removed from the face of the earth.

The Battle of Arausio saw a Roman army of 120, 000 troops being wiped out by the Cimbri and the Teutones in 105 BC.

The catastrophic defeat would eventually lead to the Marian Reforms

A brilliant win does not imply the worst loss.
