Teutoburg was the site of one of
the most famous battles of ancient history. In late
September of 9 AD, three Roman legions fought a prolonged
four-day battle with the Germanic barbarians under their
leader, Arminius, and were eventually defeated, a crushing
blow to both Rome's military and its pride. This new revised
edition of Four Days in September thoroughly examines the
ancient sources, looks at new facts, analyses the theories
of modern scholars, and puts forward hypotheses of its own
in order to get the clearest picture of the dynamics of the
battle, and its aftermath.
