This history documentary is a compilation of our Avenging Varus animated documentary series:
Avenging Varus Part 1 - Campaigns of Tiberius (10-14 AD)
Avenging Varus Part 2 - Campaigns of Germanicus (14-15 AD)
Avenging Varus Part 3 - Battle of the Long Bridges (15 AD)
Avenging Varus Part 4 - Battle of Idistaviso (16 AD)
Avenging Varus Part 5 - Battle of the Angrivarian Walls (16 AD)
Avenging Varus Part 6 - Fate of Arminius and Germanicus (16 AD)
The video picks up just after the defeat of Varus and his legions at the Battle of Teutoburg Forest by the hands of Arminius. It traces the panicked response of Emperor Augustus and the deployment of Tiberius to resecure the Germanic frontier. The documentary then covers the unfolding series of campaigns launched by Rome and led by Germanicus in its Avenging Varus quest. These feature some of the most climactic battles of the Germanic Wars including the Battle of the Long Bridges, the Battle of Idistaviso, and the Battle of the Angrivarian Wall.

Germanicus: "So Caecina, your report of the battle?" Caecina: "We slept through the night with barely any food, in camp made of mud, surrounded by un-even marsh terrain, morale beyond awful, outnumbered and with no real chance of escape. Also I dreamt of Varus dragging me down, under the putrid swamp." Germanicus: "By Mars, what happened next?" Caecina: "We won."

or did it happen ? What Evidence is their, for this series of Actions that reads more like a propaganda effort from Roman Historians to not make Rome appear weak. 2 times apparently not a single roman died on this revenge train. Apparently they went from Victory to Victory to Victory just so in the end there would be the same status quo as there was before Germanicus Campaign ? I really dont think so.

dont forget the Historical Context. Rome needed to show Strength cause it got weakened 2 years Prior. Besides Roman Historians overblowing seemingly every success Germanicus had, there is not much actual evidence of his success. In the End, this whole Campaign ended where it started and its purpose was to make the Romans beleive that they got their Revenge and that they werent weakend, but stronger then before. You can see it in every part of this Story. No matter how desperate the Situation for the Romans got, it was just to make their success look even more dramatic and heroic. No matter how dire, somehow the Historians are telling us that they still got the upper hand in the end. Roman History from Roman Historians is obviously biased.

I'm from what used to be Germania inferior and visited Kalkriese as a giant Roman history buff - and god, was I disappointed. Little historical material, the whole area strewn with weird modern art. A rusty (in the modern sense) viewing platform that shows nothing, a tiny reconstruction of a sod wall with wicker fences like Arminius used to channel the Roman forces, but surrounded and complemented with post-modern corrugated iron walls, a lawn strewn with weird metal tiles ... it felt more like a modern art interpretation of history than an actually informative museum. All looks, no substance. The archaeological park and museum in Xanten are far, far better.

You can't destroy such an opponent with anger.. That was Rome's Vietnam.. As I said.. Arminius slaughtered the Romans so hard that they were so afraid that something like this could happen again, which is why nothing happened after the revenge campaigns. And these were Germanic tribes that were not at all as advanced as Rome. These people had a pride and will as big as Rome. And they weren't even a nation. Imagine Arminius would have succeeded in uniting the Germanic tribes. Not a good time for Rome.

What a documentary. Great work as always. I have to note however, that the fates of Germanicus and Arminius remind me much of Hannibal and Scipio. Two famed generals who fought to the bitter end, met with each other and had the respect and admiration of their people, only to fall to treachery and jealous warlords/politicians. Germanicus died after being sent to the east either by poison or disease, Arminius murdered, compare that to Scipio dying in obscurity and Hannibal being driven out of Carthage, only to comitt suicide. All four men died within a few years between each other.

There's very little of that kind of history, beyond Rome no one in Europe was keeping records. Same for Africa. The only notable exceptions are the Muslim lands, Ethiopia and Benin, with their bronzes. Other than that we just have rough histories. And the developed part of the Americas, the Inca and Aztecs, had their records destroyed by the Spanish.

Well done for an informative and palatable way you narrate the story. As a modern day British Army Veteran it is helpful to see tactics described this way. Keep up the good work.

At 2:30 they forgot to state that Arminius actually sent the head of Varus to the Marcomanni to show them that they were allies and wanted Maroboduus and his Marcomanni to join the German Alliance, Mroboduus stayed loyal to Rome and sent Varus' head to the capital. P.S: The reason Arminius wanted the Marcomanni on his side was because of their army whoch was over 70,000 trained warriors. The only army capable of threatening Rome itself.

I remember a certain high school history class in which I was tasked with an in-depth research and summary report of the Roman/Germanic conflict of this period. I wish to Mars, Janus and Apollo that I'd had this sort of resource for that scholarly endeavor.

I agree with you. I think we look at this war from usually the Roman side of things which puts a spotlight on Germanic barbarity and cold heartened which to me is the wrong way to go about things. I believe both dif awful things for little gain.
