I like the incentive system to get people to actually read (or at least skim) all of it. :)

Yeah that's one long a** note. I read the first two pages and then grabbed the scroll bar and quickly scrolled to the bottom (took like ten minutes lol). Does that count as skimming?

Extract from Wiki:

The battle

The Germanic tribes generally avoided open large-scale combat but by repeated Roman incursions deep into Germanic territory, Germanicus was able to force Arminius, at the head of a large but fractious coalition, into response. The Romans, along with the Chauci who fought on the Roman side as auxiliaries, defeated the allied Germanic forces decisively, inflicting heavy losses on them.[7] Arminius and his uncle Inviomerus evaded capture and fled with the remnants of their army into the forests.

It is unknown how many Germanics and Romans were killed in the battle. According to Tacitus, the number of Germanic casualties were between 10,000- 20,000 dead or wounded, while probably less than 10,000 Romans were killed.[citation needed]

Aftermath

Germanicus then withdrew behind the Rhine for the winter.[8] With Roman honour avenged, Tiberius called an end to the costly military campaigns in northern Germania and ordered Germanicus to return to Rome,[8] where he was granted a Triumph by Tiberius on May 26, AD 17. Arminius would be later assassinated on the orders of rival Germanic chiefs.

Such is the cost of avenging honour. :(
