What is teutobochus?

Teutobochus was a king of the Teutons, an ancient Germanic tribe that lived in what is now northern Germany. He is most well-known for leading the Teutons in a battle against the Roman Republic in the 2nd century BC.

The Teutons, along with their allies the Cimbri, launched a series of invasions into Roman territory, causing widespread panic and fear among the Roman population. Teutobochus and his tribe were eventually defeated by the Roman general Gaius Marius in the Battle of Aquae Sextiae in 102 BC.

After their defeat, Teutobochus and the surviving Teutons were taken as slaves and sold into servitude in Roman territories. The defeat of the Teutons by the Romans marked the end of their power and influence in the region. Teutobochus himself likely died in captivity or on the battlefield.
