How did Nero Claudius Drusus's death foreshadow the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest?

  • It showed the vulnerability of the Romans

  • It lead to disagreements among the Romans

  • It slowed the expansions of the Romans into the north

  • It consolidated Roman power

Answer

Nero Claudius Drusus's death slowed the expansions of the Romans into the north because it meant that there was no one to lead the army and continue the conquest. This allowed the Germanic tribes to become stronger and more confident, and eventually led to the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, where the Romans were defeated.
