Description

La batalla que convirti a dos hermanos en hroes de pueblos enemigos y demostr al mundo que la poderosa Roma no era invencible.
En tiempos de Augusto, una legin captura a los hermanos Armin y Wulf, hijos del caudillo de los queruscos, mientras pasean por la calzada sin fin que los romanos estn construyendo cerca de su aldea en la agreste y brbara Germania. Los dos muchachos son conducidos a Roma como huspedes del emperador, quien los deja al cuidado de Marco Tulio Tauro, el adusto e inteligente centurin que los apres.
Aos despus, los jvenes se han convertido en Arminio y Flavio, dos expertos soldados adiestrados por Tauro y ciudadanos romanos respetados por todos que han sabido ganarse la confianza del propio emperador, cuya sucesin ha desatado luchas internas en su familia. Arminio, sobre todo, destaca por su habilidad militar y es enviado a Siria con el gobernador Publio Quintilio Varo, mientras que Flavio es destinado a Germania. Tiempo despus se reencuentran en Roma y ambos parten luego para las tierras del norte, donde nacieron. Poco despus Tiberio, hijo adoptivo de Augusto, quiere tomar la iniciativa en la frontera del Rin y dominar, de una vez por todas, esas tribus brbaras. Entre el 9 y el 12 de septiembre del ao 9 d.C. tres legiones de lite, comandadas por Publio Quintilio Varo y apoyadas por seis cohortes y tres alas de caballera, veinte mil hombres en total, avanzan hacia el bosque de Teutoburgo... Combinando a la perfeccin la pica y la veracidad histrica, el novelista Valerio Massimo Manfredi nos sumerge en la extraordinaria historia de dos hermanos que terminarn luchando en bandos contrarios en la batalla del bosque de Teutoburgo, la primera gran derrota de Roma.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The battle that turned two brothers into heroes from enemy villages and showed the world that the powerful Roman empire was not invincible.


The two boys are taken to Rome as "guests" of the emperor, who leaves them in the care of Marco Tulio Tauro, the surly, intelligent centurion who captured them.
Years later, the young men have become Arminio and Flavus, two expert soldiers trained by Tauro, and Roman citizens respected by all who have learned to earn the trust of the emperor himself, whose succession has unleashed internal family struggles.
Perfectly combining epic narrative and historical accuracy, novelist Valerio Massimo Manfredi immerses us in the extraordinary story of two brothers who end up fighting on opposite sides at the battle of Teutoburg Forest, Rome's first great defeat.
