Arminius was a Germanic chieftain who served in the Roman Army in other parts of the Empire. However, he was sent back to Germania to help pacify the tribes, but while there, however, he secretly plotted with the Germanic tribes to revolt. In 9 CE, he persuaded the Roman governor, Varus, to take three Roman legions into the Teutoburg Forest, where they were ambushed and wiped out in what is widely considered one of Rome’s most comprehensive defeats. It effectively ended Roman expansion east of the Rhine.
