This half-hour episode of the TLC series "Archaeology," titled "Caesar's Nightmare: Battle in the Forest," describes recent archaeological finds at the site of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (9 A.D.), in which heroic Germanic tribesmen led by their chief, Hermann (Arminius), annihilated three legions of the Roman Army.

It also features glimpses of the magnificent Hermannsdenkmal (1875), by Ernst von Bandel, near Detmold, which is one of the greatest German national monuments.

2009 marked the 2,000th anniversary of this battle.
