Germanicus is here! Today we continue the “Lost Eagles” series. In the aftermath of the ambush at Teutoburg Forest, Roman control over Germania east of the Rhine was severely damaged – you can watch Episode 1 – Battle of the Teutoburg Forest here https://youtu.be/vHGK43Jy6oM.
Episode 2 features three battles! We cover Tiberius’ retaliatory campaigns from 10 to 13 AD and Germanicus’ gigantic operation to reclaim Roman dominance in 14 and 15 AD, culminating with the Battle of Pontes Longi.
