The Clades Variana (Varus's defeat, "Varian disaster"), also Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (German: Schlacht im Teutoburger Wald, Hermannsschlacht or Varusschlacht) took place in 9 AD, when an alliance of Germanic tribes led by Arminius (German: Armin) (also known as "Hermann"), the son of Segimerus (German: Segimer or Sigimer) of the Cherusci, ambushed and destroyed three Roman legions, along with their auxiliaries, led by Publius Quinctilius Varus.
Despite subsequent campaigns by the Roman army into Germania magna, the Roman provinces' frontier was not extended beyond the lower Rhine or the decumates agri. Whether Augustus had such an intention and whether the clades Variana terminated such plans is disputed among historians.
