Not the whole world, but Decebalus fucking up so hard that we got culturally genocided set the region back by quite a lot.

Arausio was worse than Teutoburg, i don't know why this ambush is so dramatized.

>>1627513
Delet this right now profligate

>>1627752
On a similar way, we have Boiorix king of the Cimbri, who refused to settle in Gaul and insisted to go get genocided by Gaius Marius.

He even forgets that Arminius was a Romefag.

>>1627853
Most of Rome's barbarian foes were. Look at all the barbarian kings in the 4th and 5th century.
Hell a few times the barbarians literally elected to have a roman lead them, like with Sertorius in Spain.

The Romans returned and slaughtered the Germans just a few years later. They even got their captured standards back. Why is this battle so famous and the latter equally one-sided Roman victories almost unknown?

because Augustus had an autistic fit over it and Rome never secured territories past the Rhine again.

>>1627912
Because Rome lost fucking legions.

That shit is very important to the Romans.

>>1627912

Because Rome has lots and lots of ridiculously one sided victories. Their defeats, especially in the days of the early empire, are much rarer and thus more notable.

>>1627912
For the same reason brits and frogs idolize Boudicca and Vercingetorix: 19th century nationalism.

>>1627924
That shit happened in literally every war. It even fucking happened during slave rebellions. It was shameful for the general, but not particularly noteworthy.

>>1627853
he was a Cherusci who was roman educated. he was not a Latin.

>>1627937
>That shit happened in literally every war
No. A bunch of legions lost men, but still retained their organization. That is a usual Roman loss.

Romans remember when WHOLE legions were lost. As in the unit is virtually wiped out. MULTIPLE legions wiped out. Now that's a shit to remember.

And this was during the time when Romans literally almost lost very few battles versus foreigners. And versus barbarians.

Don't ask me why this battle is remembered so much, Romans seem to think it's a big tragedy.

>>1627937
that battle basically guaranteed that Rome would never try and take and hold Germania again, and look what that decision birthed
[spoiler]you're speaking it[/spoiler]

Dude Rome lost whole armies a bunch of times. Understrength legions were split up to reinforce others all the time too.
Just look at Noreia, Arausio, or a shitload other battles.

>>1627967
>that battle basically guaranteed that Rome would never try and take and hold Germania again
They tried not even a generation later. And they were even winning before Germanicus croaked.

>>1627985
>Understrength legions were split up to reinforce others all the time too.
Not the same as losing whole lot of them to the barbarian enemy.

>>1627990

they lost the MAINSTAY of the legion at Cannae.

Varus pls

>>1627990
Did you purposefully ignore the rest of the post? Do you think that no legions were lost at Arausio?

>>1627995
And Teutoberg (or whatever its name is in Roman) is in the same shelf as Cannae filed under "Shitty defeats, pls. remember" for the Romans.

Cannae was Pearl Harbor for Romans, Teutoburg was the Vietnam.

They warred, as in to defeat and cripple them but they didn't try to subjugate and rule them
