The Wife of Arminius Brought Captive to Germanicus is a 1773 history painting by the Anglo-American artist Benjamin West.

[1][2] It depicts a scene from the Roman Empire's military campaign in Germania in the early first century, loosely based on the writings of the historian Tacitus.

Thusnelda was the wife of Arminius, who had previously inflicted a major defeat on the Romans at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.

Segestes, dressed in yellow, is pleading on behalf of his daughter-in-law[3] In reality, Thusnelda refused to denounce her husband and was taken back to Rome as a prisoner and was paraded along with her son Thumelicus in a triumph in 17 AD.

He was paid 150 guineas each for this work and its companion piece The Family of the King of Armenia before Cyrus, which displayed a similar classical scene of magnanimity.
