(Roman general)
Arminius, a chieftain of the Germanic Cherusci tribe, played a crucial role in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in AD 9. Leading an alliance of Germanic tribes, he orchestrated the ambush that led to the defeat of three Roman legions. Despite his assassination by Germanic nobles, he was hailed as a liberator of the Germanic tribes and a symbol of German unity and freedom by nationalists.
