	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.

		With a total length of about 170 km and subdivided in eight stages the Hermanns' Walk follows the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest.
		Like a long stretched natural wall the Teutoburg Forest is a range of forested hills which is surrounded by lowlands and thus allows far views deep into the countryside of Lower Saxony and Westphalia.
		With only few changes in direction the path predominantly passes through the deciduous woodlands of the Teutoburg Forest's ridge, only occasionally interrupted by valleys coming in from the side.

	Die Varusschlacht
		The area's location is only indirectly described by Tacitus who writes that the Teutoburg Forest is situated not far from the area of the Bructeri (an ancient Germanic tribe), whose people lived between the river Lippe and the river Ems.
		Historian Horst Callies believes that: "The descriptions of swamps and difficult to penetrate swampy forest were added for dramatic effect." The repeatedly cited "giant trees" and the "wild" Germanic tribes that Velleius Paterculus describes as "cunning, a people of born liars" probably also fall into the category of clichés.
		The heavily fated "saltus Teutoburgiensis" was therefore probably not the Teutoburg Forest of today, but the paraphrasing of an area of forest that stretched from the river Ems to the river Weser.

	Battle of the Teutoburg Forest
		It was only then that this particular region came to be known as the "Teutoburg Forest".
		In passing through the forest the Roman forces had lost their structure as the line of march stretched out perilously long, and they were ambushed by the Germans repeatedly over two or three days (although some scholars suggest the battle took only a few hours).
		For Roman historians to say "Lucius Eggius gave as honorable an example of valor as Ceionius gave of baseness" or "Numonius Vala… [was] guilty of abominable treachery" is unverifiable.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: The Battle That Stopped Rome, by Peter S. Wells, Hardcover, First Edition
		The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, in which Germanic warriors, led by Arminius (Hermann) defeated the Roman army, killing some 20,000 Roman soldiers, led to the halting of Emperor Augustus's expansionism and the establishment of the Roman frontier along the Rhine for the next four centuries, argues Wells (anthropology, U. of Minnesota).
		Combining textual and archaeological sources (the actual site of the battle was located in 1987) reconstructs the events and impact of the battle, as well as information about the political structures, technology, and social systems of the Germanic tribes that were able to defeat the Roman Imperial forces, much to their shock and surprise.
		Still, Wells is able not only to reconstruct a credible analysis of the German strategy—pinning the Romans into a tight area of unforgiving forest and marshy terrain in which they could not execute their customary combat tactics—but also to explore the thoughts and fears of the combatants on both sides as the massacre commenced.

		Wells makes a good case for the idea that the blame for the Romans’ defeat at Teutoburg Forest has long been inappropriately blamed on Varus (although there has always been some discussion on that point).
		In fact, the blame for the defeat should be attributed to the overall Roman failure to understand the “Germans” in general and the changes that had taken place in their societies and cultures and military ability from exposure to Roman ways.
		The event was a battle involving the newly appointed Roman governor of Germany, a Roman army of approximately 16,500 men, 3 German tribes and a man who later came to be seen as the savior of ancient Germany (Herman).
