Teutoburg Forest 9 AD - Battle that stopped Rome - Lost Legions Part 1

🚩 Considered one of the most important defeats in Roman history, the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest brought the triumphant period of expansion under Augustus to an abrupt end. It discouraged the Romans from pursuing the full conquest of Germania, instead switching to tribute collection, thus can be considered one of the most important events in European history.

One of Rome's worst defeats.. still happy you're covering it

[mikebrianmurithi]

What's better than historymarche voice narrating one of the most iconic battles in history.

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....

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.

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.

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".

This has to be one of the best British narration voices I have heard in a long time. I thought Tim Piggot Smiths voice was good and draws you in, but this guy is certainly up in the top 3 best narrators.

Amazing video as usual! Thank you guys for actually adapting Germanicus' punitive campaigns instead of stopping at teutoburg

I watched it like it was a war drama. Excellent video. Great job!

"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

Congratulations on the way you create such great suspense and storytelling with stories that we already know the outcome of. Luckily I've been with this channel since the first video. Thank you!!!
