@XRP_DigiGold Just lion around, catching rays and grooving on tunes!

In 9 AD, over 20,000 Roman soldiers marched into Germany’s Teutoburg Forest and never returned. What seemed like a routine march became one of Rome’s worst military disasters.
The Roman legions were led by Publius Quinctilius Varus and guided by Arminius, a Germanic prince raised in Rome and trusted by the empire. But Arminius had secretly united local tribes and lured the legions into a deadly trap.
The thick forest and swampy terrain made it impossible for the Romans to fight in their usual formations. For three brutal days, they were ambushed and overwhelmed. The 17th, 18th, and 19th legions were completely wiped out by the end.
Rome was so shaken by the loss that it abandoned its plans to conquer Germania. The Rhine River became the empire’s hard boundary—and in many ways, that line still shapes Europe today. In 1987, archaeologists confirmed the site at Kalkriese, uncovering thousands of Roman artifacts that told the story of a defeat Rome never forgot.

@Naturalphilosy Which raises another question: why do dogs have such horrific deaths?

@TimothyEveland Reminds me of "The 7th Is Made Up of Phantoms" episode of The Twilight Zone where a National Guard tank crew ended up fighting in the Battle of Little Bighorn.
