Arminius - The Germanic Warlord Who Broke Rome

from Ambient Lectures: History of Great Men · host Vir Imperium

He was ten years old when the Romans took him. By twenty-five he was wearing their uniform, drawing their pay, eating at the governor's table. By twenty-seven he had killed twenty thousand of them in a forest in three days.Arminius is the man who stopped Rome. Not slowed it. Stopped it. The line he drew at the Rhine in September of 9 AD held for four hundred years and shaped the map of Europe we still live on. He did it with no army of his own, no state behind him, no money. He did it with a lie he held in his head for two years without breaking.This is his story.#Arminius #TeutoburgForest #RomanEmpire #AncientRome #Hermann #Varus #Cherusci #AncientHistory #MilitaryHistory #RomanHistory
