	Clades Variana (The Varus Disaster)
		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.
		But when Quintilius Varus became governor of the province of Germany, and in the exercise of his powers also came to handle the affairs of these peoples, he tried both to hasten and to widen the process of change.
		Varus: Depending on which reference you turn to, Varus was either Publius Quintilius Varus or Publius Quinctilius Varus.

	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.
		Gaius 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.
		Varus' dead body was identified by the Germans, who cut off the Roman's head and sent it to Maroboduus, hoping that he would join the general insurrection.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Publius Quinctilius Varus
		His parental grandparents were senator Sextus Quinctilius Varus and Varus was a patrician, born to an aristocratic but long-impoverished and unimportant family in the Quinctilius gens.
		In 9 AD, Varus had stationed his armies 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.
		Not only was Varus trust in Arminius a terrible misjudgement, but Varus compounded it by placing his legions in a position where their fighting strengths would be minimized and that of the Germans' maximized.

		Varus was tricked by Arminius (or Hermann), who although a German was a Roman citizen, into the Teutoburger Wald where the German tribes attacked Varus and his three legions — XVII, XVIII and XIX — and slaughtered them.
		Varus was a man fond of aquiring money and instituted taxes on the German tribes, to whom the concept was new and unwelcome.
		Varus and his legions were led deep into the forest, far from any possibility of Roman aid, and were attacked in the most difficult terrain within the forest.

		Varus had been governor of Syria and it is said that when he became Syria's governor he was a pauper but by the time he became governor of Germania he was a very wealthy man.
		What Varus was up against were a people which had a long history of independence and they saw no reason to sacrifice their freedom or wealth on Rome's altar.
		Thus, Publius Quintilius Varus was intent not to just feed the coffers of Rome but to also line his own pockets with a portion of all the riches which were just east of the Rhine River waiting to be taken.

		The most high-profile achievement of Quinctilius Varus - he of Teutoburg Forest fame - as consul in 13 BC (together with the future emperor Tiberius) was the construction of the Ara Pacis Augustae, the Altar of the Augustan Peace.
		Quintilius Varus, an officer who had been entrusted with the government of the provinces beyond the Rhine, proved totally unequal to curbing the bolder spirits among the Germans, who under their chief, Arminius, boldly challenged the forces of this short-sighted officer.
		Varus, completely losing his nerve, attempted to separate the cavalry from the infantry and endeavoured to escape with three squadrons of the former; but the Germans surrounded them, and after a hand-to-hand struggle of three days the Roman army was annihilated.

		Varus had five legions under his ineffective command: Two at Mogontiacum, and three, during the winter, at Vetera and Aliso (Haltern - on the upper Lippe river).
		Varus failed to heed that warning, and headed for the road which ran through the Doeren Pass to Aliso.

		In an incredible display of political skill that, at a time when every tribe was turned against another and the Cheruscans themselves were divided within, Hermann was able to gather a number of folks together and to use his full knowledge of Roman means of warfare to organize and ready them for victory.
		However, Varus, having known Hermann as a worthy subordinate in his own army for some time, was not ready to accept that a successful young Roman officer of noble rank would give up his place to lead a "barbarian" tribe, or that Hermann would turn against his own commander.
