Weser River, Battle of the

Years: 16 - 16

The Battle of the Weser River, sometimes known as a first Battle of Minden, or more usually the Battle of Idistavisus, is fought in CE 16 between Roman legions commanded by Emperor Tiberius' heir and adopted son Germanicus, and an alliance of Germanic tribes commanded by Arminius.

The battle marks the end of a three-year series of campaigns by Germanicus in Germania.

“A generation which ignores history has no past — and no future.”

― Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love (1973)
