		The outcome of the battle established the Rhine as the boundary of the Roman Empire for the next few hundred years, until the decline of the Roman influence in the West.

	The battle in the Teutoburg Forest
		The name of the Teutoburg Forest in Germany will forever be connected to one of the most famous battles from ancient history, the clades Variana, the defeat of the Roman general Varus.
		The Teutoburg Forest became the symbol of the eternal opposition between the overcivilised and decadent Latin and the creative and vital Germanic people, between old France and new Germany.
		Although it is certainly incorrect to see the battle in the Teutoburg Forest as part of the history of an eternal, quasi-natural antithesis between France and Germany, it can not be denied that the Roman defeat was indeed one of the most decisive and influential battles in world history.

		The Cherusci were a Germanic tribe inhabiting the Rhine valley and the plains and forests of northwestern Germany (between near modern Osnabrück and Hanover) during the 1st century BC and 1st century CE.
		They are most famous for the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, when an army of allied Germanic tribes (the Cherusci, Bructeri, Marsi, and Chatti) under the Cheruscian war leader Arminius annihilated three Roman legions commanded by Publius Quinctilius Varus.
		This crushing Roman defeat stopped Rome's advance and compelled the empire, after a few more years of generally indecisive campaigning by Germanicus, to withdraw permanently behind the Rhine and Danube and the Limes fortification which was built as in consequence of the loss at Teutoburg Forest to link the two rivers.
