One man dared to defy the world’s greatest empire at the height of its power... and won.
Discover the epic true story of Arminius—the warrior who united the Germanic tribes and
led history’s most devastating ambush against Rome.
The Story
In the year 9 A.D., deep in the Teutoburg Forest of Northern Germany, three Roman legions were lured into an ambush that lasted for three horrific days.
When it was over, 20,000 Romans were massacred and the unstoppable expansion of Rome was brought to a sudden halt. The Rhine River became the empire’s new border—a divide between Roman and Germanic culture that remains to this day.
This historic victory was led by one man: Arminius—who was taken hostage at age 10, raised Roman, became a citizen and a knight, then was sent home to govern his people but did the unthinkable. He united and rallied the fractured Germanic tribes to rise up against Rome and brutally destroyed their oppressors.
