  • Black Forest

Answer

The Teutoburg Forest was the site of a battle in AD 9 between the Roman Empire and a coalition of Germanic tribes led by Arminius, a chieftain of the Cherusci. The Romans were decisively defeated, and the loss was a severe blow to their prestige and power. In response, Germanicus, a Roman general, launched a series of campaigns against the Germanic tribes in an attempt to avenge the defeat.
