It is one of the biggest battles of the Antiquity. A confrontation of several days between the Roman legions and the Germanic tribes. The Roman Empire will know one of the most tragic defeats of its history because of an enigmatic man, Arminius, at the head of a coalition and a gigantic ambush that will change the course of history. The battle of Teutoburg marked the end of Roman expansion beyond the Rhine and also sounded the death knell for the ambitions of the emperor Augustus.
Thanks to the excavations of recent years, historians now know much more about the confrontation and can answer many riddles: why did the Roman soldiers go so far in this region? What tactics did the Germans use? Why did the victors take so few prisoners? So many mysteries have been solved, even if some of the enigmas remain unresolved.
