The hero Arminius was the pride of the entire Germanic nation, and the annihilation of three Roman legions in the Battle of Teutonic Fort was a feat that even Persians and Parthians could not do at that time. So much so that it became a tool for Nazi propaganda of racial superiority during World War II. In order to avoid suspicion, the play actually found a black-haired and black-eyed Arminius. If Varus didn't call him, he would have thought he was a Roman. Arminius was a tall, blond, blue-eyed samurai, and he chose such a product because he avoided suspicion of the Nazis. The description of Varus is also too loving, the guy who shaved Syria clean at the time, the greed and tyranny was famous at the time, and he was not the guardian of Arminius and his brother. If the Roman legions only collected taxes in Germania, it would not have provoked a German uprising. After all, the troops stationed in Germany also traded with the tribes, and the market has a balancing mechanism. The key is that the high taxes of the Romans made it impossible for the tribe to pay, and the daughters of many chieftains were directly pulled to pay the land tax for prostitutes. They also contributed a large number of samurai to the east of the Romans to face the Persians as cannon fodder, and even sold them as cannon fodder. slave. There is nothing more shameful to tribal culture. Arminius instigated the uprising, and his uncle played a big role. Arminius used his Roman status to gradually eliminate pro-Roman forces, and his knighthood was conferred by Augustus himself, probably before going to Germania. And the battle of Teutoburg was heavily prepared, making good use of the terrain, building fences in the forest and concealing them with branches. The Romans were not stupid enough to march directly. In order to lure them into the bait, Arminius is said to have performed a play of suspended animation.

Just watch it, don't take it too seriously.
