Battle of the Weser River
The Battle of the Weser River, sometimes known as a first Battle of Minden, or more usually the Battle of Idistavisus, was fought in 16 AD between Roman legions commanded by Emperor Tiberius' heir and adopted son Germanicus, and an alliance of Germanic tribes commanded by Arminius. The battle marked the end of a three-year series of campaigns by Germanicus in Germania.
==Background==
The Germanic chief, Arminius, had been instrumental in the organising of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, in which three Roman legions, moving west〔Stephen Dando-Collins, ''Legions of Rome''. (New York: St. Martin's Press, 2010), 238.〕 to winter quarters,〔Ibid, 237.〕 were ambushed and annihilated by allied Germanic forces in the deep forests of western Germania. This loss loomed large in the Roman psyche and revenge for this defeat, as well as the neutralization of the threat of Arminius, were the impetus for Germanicus' campaign. In the year before the battle, 15 AD, Germanicus had marched against the Chatti and then against the Cherusci under Arminius. During that campaign, the Romans advanced along the region of the Teutoburg Forest where the legions had been massacred and buried the bones of the Roman soldiers that still lay there.〔Tacitus, ''The Annals'' 1.62〕 A Legionary standard from the battle was also recovered.〔Tacitus, ''The Annals'' 1.60〕 Skirmishes with the Germani were constant but the Romans could not draw them into open battle.
