	Publius Quinctilius Varus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Varus was a patrician, born to an aristocratic but long impoverished and unimportant family.
		His father was Sextus Quinctilius Varus, a senator aligned with the conservative republicans in the civil war against Julius Caesar.
		In 9, Varus was stationed in a summer camp near the Weser River with his three legions, the Seventeenth, the Eighteenth and the Nineteenth, when news arrived of a growing revolt in the Rhine area to the west.

	Publius Quinctilius Varus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 9 AD, Varus was stationed in the East a summer camp near the Weser River with his three legions, the seventeenth, the eighteenth and the nineteenth, when news arrived about a growing revolt in the Rhine area to the west.
		Varus was said to have taken his own life, although this is impossible to verify, since there were no survivors.
		However, Varus' head was buried in the mausoleum of his Octavianus' family, suggesting that the emperor did not keep a grudge against him.

	Publius Quinctilius Varus
		Publius Quinctilius Varus (46 BCE - 9 CE): Roman senator, friend of the emperor Augustus, killed in the battle in the Teutoburg Forest.
		It is possible that one of the consuls of 8 CE, Sextus Nonius Quinctilianus, was Varus' and Vipsania's child, adopted by Varus' brother-in-law Lucius Nonius Asprenas (the husband of Varus' sister Quinctilia).
		Caius Sentius Saturninus was replaced by Varus, and the legions of the Rhine army were with him in Germania: sometimes in their winter quarters on the Rhine (Xanten and Cologne), sometimes on the eastern bank, for example at Haltern, where the presence of the Nineteenth legion is attested.

	Publius Quinctilius Varus
		He was appointed to govern Germany in 7 AD, but in 9 AD, when marching back from a summer camp near the Weser River[?], he and three legions attacked by Arminius in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.

	Battle of the Teutoburg Forest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Roman force was led by Publius Quinctilius Varus, a noble from an old family, a diplomat who had been named the governor of the new province of Germania in 7.
		While Varus was on his way from his summer camp to the winter headquarters near the Rhine, he heard reports of a local rebellion, fabricated by Arminius.
		Around 20,000 Roman soldiers died; Varus and his officers are said to have taken their own lives by falling on their swords in the approved manner.

	Clades Variana (The Varus Disaster) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Some sources say that Varus was marching to put down a rebellion in the north, others say he was relocating to a winter camp when the ambush took place.
		Quintilius Varus was born of a noble rather than illustrious family, was of a mild disposition, of sedate manners, and being somewhat indolent as well, in body as in mind, was more accustomed to ease in a camp than to action in the field.
		Varus: Depending on which reference you turn to, Varus was either Publius Quintilius Varus or Publius Quinctilius Varus.

	Varus - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Publius Quinctilius Varus (46 BCE - 9 CE): Roman senator, friend of prince Tiberius and the emperor Augustus.
		Later, one of his enemies, the author Velleius Paterculus, was to state in his Roman History that Varus had arrived as a poor man in rich Syria, and had left an impoverished province as a rich man. This is unlikely; Varus belonged to the highest elite of the empire and can not have been poor.
		In 6 CE, Varus was made governor of Germania, but was killed in the battle in the Teutoburg Forest (modern Kalkriese) in 9.

	The Roman defeat in the Teutoburg forest
		Probably the greatest disaster suffered by the Romans was the defeat in the Teutoburg forest when the former proconsul of Africa, Publius Quinctilius Varus, together with three legions (XVII, XVIII, and XIX), six cohorts and three squadrons of cavalry (alae) were practically slaughtered.
		In this situation, the Germans did not respond immediately and Varus was at first received peacefully by them, a thing which inspired trust in him; it seemed that these tribes would accept the Roman domination without a war.
		Varus' head was sent to Augustus and now the independence of these territories was assured.

	Leaders and Battles: Varus, Publius Quinctilius
		Varus boosted his military career by marrying the grand-niece of Augustus.
		A revolt in Jerusalem prompted Varus' attention and he marched through Judaea and captured Sepphoris, Arus, and Sappho before quelling the uprising.
		Reports of Varus' subsequent suicide were never confirmed.

	The Varus Debate
		The location of the Varus battle site to Kalkriese near Osnabrück is mainly based on that assumption, as coins with "VAR" were found in the excavations.
		Varus clearly controlled more than just the legions he lost, with others stationed on the Rhine under his legate Lucius Asprenas.
		The widespread distribution is not unreasonable for a Legatus with at least 5 legions under his command and whose countermarked coins would have continued to circulate after his death.

		Varus came from a noble family, improving his station by marrying Augustus's great-niece.
		The people of the territory were not prepared to accept his program, and Arminius and the Cherusci, joined by other allies, trapped Varus in the Teutoburg Forest of northwest Germany, annihilating the XVII, XVIII and XIX legions.
		When Augustus heard of the disaster, he tore his clothes and screamed: "Varus, bring back my legions!" Varus was thus blamed for the collapse of imperial policy in Germany, and no further attempts were made to subdue the Germanic peoples beyond the Rhine.

	The Teutoburg Massacre AD 9 (FalcoPhiles)
		This lured Varus away from the Rhine, deeper into Cherusci territory; furthermore he dispersed his troops by sending them to help defend villages from neighbouring tribal attack, as requested by the leaders of the villages (who were secretly aiding Arminius!).
		Such was the deception, that when Segestes (a compatriot and father-in-law of Arminius who was opposed to the revolt all along) tried to warn Varus of the plans, he did not believe him and accused Segestes of spreading slanders about Arminius because of the on-going feud between them (Arminus had eloped with Segestes' daughter Thusnelda).
		The precise location of Varus' final stand is believed to be at Kalkriese (near Osnabrück), where in the mid 1980s a British soldier discovered large numbers of bronze coins and lead slingshot "bullets".

		To accomplish this the emperor appointed Varus to be governor.
		Varus had a reputation more for administration than martial skill and seemed the perfect choice for the intense Romanization of the Germanic tribes.
		When revolts erupted under the leadership of Arminius and his Cheruscans, Varus was ill-equipped to meet the challenge.

	A Lesson From Quinctilius Varus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In the year 9 A.D., Publius Quinctilius Varus, Roman governor of Germany, crossed the Rhine with three legions and penetrated deep into north Germany in an attempt to "pacify" (Romanize) the barbaric Germanic tribes and introduce them to the civilized delights of the Roman way.
		Lured by a turncoat legionary general, Arminius, himself a Romanized German, into the wilds of the Teutoburg Forest, Varus and his legions were massacred to the last man.
		The lesson: Varus was involved in what we call today "nation building," and his fate, and that of his legions, was a direct result of that policy.

		The early afternoon sun reflected off the gleaming armor of Publius Quinctilius Varus as he rode along the track at the base of the hills that formed the southern edge of the North European Plain.
		Arminius, a member of the Cherusci tribe who had served in the Roman army and had become a Roman citizen, drew three legions under the command of Publius Quinctilius Varus into a trap east of the Rhine.
		He suggests that the battle did not take place over three days (as the writer Cassius Dio claimed 200 years later) but that the slaughter was essentially over in an hour, with the rest of the day devoted to capturing or killing the survivors.

		According to Cassius Dio, the reason for this battle was that after Varus became the governor of Germania province (7 A.D.), he made the mistake of giving orders and asking for tribute from some Germanic tribes as if they had been subdued.
		According to Suetonius (Aug. 23), Augustus, when he found out what had happened, cried: "Quinctilius Varus, give me back my legions!
		After this battle the Romans took the decision that never again would any other legion be named the XVII, the XVIII or the XIX.
