- keiferski 4y agoApparently Arminius, the German who betrayed the Romans in Teutoburg, served in the Roman forces during the Illyrian Revolt. Interesting!
- credit_guy 4y agoIt is probably a different Arminius. The German one never switched sides after Teutoburg [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arminius https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arminius
- keiferski 4y agoFrom the link you just posted: After serving with distinction in the Great Illyrian Revolt, he was sent to Germania to aid the local governor Publius Quinctilius Varus in completing the Roman conquest of the Germanic tribes. While in this capacity, Arminius secretly plotted a Germanic revolt against Roman rule, which culminated in the ambush and destruction of three Roman legions in the Teutoburg Forest.
