An Historic Event

How is the valiant fallen on the mountain? Swifter than eagles stronger than lions the arm of Rome fallen to cunning. Give me back my legions Quinctilius Varus! Had you been diligent, as you are with denarius, strategically planning the battle you might have uncovered the heart of the barbarian and Rome would not have fallen to Germania. Tell it not at the gathering Senatus weep not at the forum via Appia lest the enemy glut! First Place Winner: William Kekaula-A Historic Event- 9/24/20 9AD battle of Teutoburg. Ambushed by the Germans Varus lost three Roman Legions.
