Segimer

He is remembered in history as the father of Arminius, who led the Germans to victory over the Romans at Teutoburg Forest in AD 9.

He may have led the Cherusci in their successful ambush of Drusus's army at Arbalo in the summer or autumn of 11 BC.

His son Arminius led the Germans to victory over three Roman legions in the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in AD 9.

[1] Segimer is not mentioned by Tacitus in his accounts of Germanicus's subsequent reprisal campaigns in Germany, although his brother Inguiomer appears.

Arminius appears to have succeeded Segimer as chieftain at some point in the early 1st century AD and was subsequently attacked by the Marcomanni chieftain Maroboduus together with his uncle Inguiomer in AD 17 or 18.
