September: Varus Battle (also battle in the Teutoburg Forest ). Legate Publius Quinctilius Varus , the governor of Germania magna , moves with three legions and auxiliary troops of the Cherusci under Arminius back to the winter camp Vetera (near Xanten ) west of the Rhine. The news of a regional uprising by the Teutons causes Varus to take a detour to the north. Arminius and the Cherusci separate from the Romans, ostensibly to gather allies.
- Day 1: The Roman legions bypass the Wiehen Mountains to the north . Germanic fighters attack the remaining winter garrisons.
- Day 2: When the Romans leave a dense forest area, they are attacked by the allied Cheruscans , Marsers , Chatten , Brukterians , Chauken and others under the leadership of Arminius. Due to the confusing terrain and without their usual battle formation, numerous legionaries fell victim to the Teutons. The legions push back into the forest, but are pursued by the Germanic warriors.
- Day 3: In order to shake off the Teutons and reach safe territory, the Romans march westwards under Varus for the whole day and the following night.
- Day 4: The decimated Roman legions reach an area north of the Kalkrieser Berg (east of today's Bramsche ). The Germans built walls here to stop the Romans. Wedged between mountains and swamps, the Romans cannot get into their battle formation. An attempt to storm the wall fails. The Germanic peoples pursue the surviving legionaries into the open field. The legions XVII Augusta , XVIII Augusta and XIX Augusta with a total of around 20,000 men are almost completely lost. The legates Publius Quinctilius Varus and Numonius Vala and most of the officers lose their lives. The survivors under Prefect Ceionus surrender. The so-called Varus Battle means one of the greatest defeats of the Roman Empire.
- The legions II Augusta , XX Valeria Victrix and XIII Gemina are relocated to Germania.

Ban on the slave trade by imperial decree.
