>muh Teutoburg

Every single time. this one battle is so recurring in every discussion about G*rms that it looks like the ONLY time they actually managed to put up a fight.
20k Roman casualties with estimated 15k barbarian casualties.
Boudica's rebellion killed more than twice as much Romans, but nobody talks about it because she lost just as many soldiers from a much smaller army later on.
Yet, everyone who brings up Teutoburg completely ignores everything that came after it, or all the other times the Romans were able to repel the Germanics and were able to roam around their territories without encountering much resistance at all
