Thusnelda Led in Germanicus' Triumph
by PILOTY, Karl Theodor von, Oil on canvas, 490 x 710 cm
Thusnelda (b. ca. 10 BC) was the daughter of the Cheruscan prince Segestes. Her father had intended her for someone else, but Arminius, who subsequently led a coalition of Germanic tribes to victory over Publius Quinctilius Varus and his legions in the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD, eloped with her and married her instead.
