520    In A.D. 9, a traitor from the Roman military named 
       Arminius led an army of barbarians who trapped, and then 
       ferociously butchered, three entire Roman legions, a 
       quarter of the Roman army stationed north of the Alps. It 
       was a blow from which the empire never recovered. If not 
       for that battle, the Roman Empire might have extended as 
       far as present-day Russia. However, after this disaster, 
       the demoralized Romans ended their efforts to push beyond 
       the Rhine, which remains to this day the cultural border 
       between Latin Western Europe and Germanic Central Europe. 
       Wells describes life within the magnificent city of Rome 
       and on the Roman frontier, puts a human face on the 
       barbarians of lore, and leads the reader through the mud, 
       blood and slaughter that was the Battle of Teutoburg 
       Forest.--From publisher description.
