My problem with a lot of digital re-eanactments of the TBwald is how dry and wide the roads are. I guess for gameplay purposes this has to be the case. However, the actual battle by all accounts, was essentially a clever series of ambuscades, a gradual whittling away of Roman strength. While the results were spectacular, I'd wager, were we able to watch the real thing, up until the Romans final attempts to break out, TBW unlike Hannibals famous Trebia ambush, would likely be one of the more boring engagements. Nevertheless, it'd be essential viewing for any arm chair general.

We may never know how the facts really will turn out. We are men of the 21st century and our consciousness is not that of the men of that period. The Roman empire left evidence of culture and works of architecture, engineering, art, etc. Arminus and the Germans left only evidence of the culture of death in the battle. The Germans were illiterate and in fact the writings on the events of Teutoburg are all by Latin authors. Amen

It is a big mistake to believe that the attack and battle against Varus' army b e g a n on a march. prima Vari castra. rapiuntur! The translation is not good/correct if the words prima castra are translated as the first camp. It was the summer camp 9 a. D. where he sat in court and it was the front camp - das vorderste Lager - of the Romans (viewed from the Rhine.

A roman marching column was set up differently and looks differently. People were carrying a lots of stuff, the shields are in a cover on the back, and nowhere there was enough space for 10 or twenty soldiers next to each other. Tactics on a march was one of the basic things the romans followed. The video might look nice, but is utter nonsense.

Rar am vazut un cretinism mai mare ca fantezia asta de rahat. Si ziceti ca in Germania din secolul 1AD, existau autostrazi cu 8 benzi pe sens Daca romanii ar fi mers 8j formatie de lupta (cum isi imagineaza idiotul care a conceput prostia asta) germanii ar fi avut nevoie de 500, 000 de oameni ca sa-i invinga.

This epic battle lasted three days and it is known that more than twice as many civilians accompanied the Roman legions, about 50, 000, including slaves, servants, wives and children. In fact, this long and slow column of about 15 kilometers even included a mobile prostitute.

arminius was a traitor who used his chief of scouts position to drag the Romans in an ambush. There is nothing honorable in it and Germanicus putted him in his place until other German gaved him a taste of his own medicine. Hannibal, on the contrary, got all my respect.

The one big flaw, is you're presenting Roman Legions marching through a dense forest, what, 10, 15 abrest. When the reality is that because of the dense forest they mainly marched in at least 2 abreast. If I'm wrong, correct me. Still loved the vid.

Arminius the traitor who betrayed his brothers in arms, betraying the blood of the covenant for the blood of his tribe leading them to dishonourable deaths himself betrayed by his own people his own babarian tribesman. How fitting.

The Roman legions were defeated only because Arminius betrayed his own men, what can I say of a man of little value. He was lucky that Varus made the mistake of not believing in his betrayal and bringing his legions inside the forest.

Jim Walls. This is a documented one sided affair. They did not march as you see here. it was a narrow trail with the Romans stretched out 12 miles. It was a classic ambush. Silva Latana was another good one.

Sorry but this is ridiculous if they could have marched in that wide of a space they would have had room to maneuver and therefore would not have been defeated so much for video games

No, No, no. Roman legions marched in a column, not deployed in battle formation. This was one of the several reasons the legionaries were so vulnerable to attack in the confined forest.

How wide was the path How wide was the marching formation 6 abreast 8
Unable to form the tripl line battle formation the Roman's in marching formation were highly at risk.

Why did Emperor Octavianus Augustus send up to three legions after unverified information Was Publius Quinctilius Varus the victim of an undescribed organized betrayal

After 3 years Romans returned and revenged. Then they buried with respect all their soldiers who were killed during these battles

Rubbish! The Romans were forcing their way through dense forest. My Thesis was on this battle, yours is pure imagination.

It was not at all like this. The Romans were strung out in a very long line, not in battle formation. That's why they lost.

Did Germanic females also fight in the battle against Roman Legions
To match the army size of the Romans.

The marching columns are too wide. 5 or 10 abreast at best, since they are marching through a forest.

This blows.
Also, the Cheruski aren't germanic. Cheruski is obviously Slavic.
So. guess again
