The Eagles of Rome (Les Aigles de Rome) is a French comic book series by Enrico Marini taking place in the early first century, and is mostly about the origins and happening of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest through the eyes of two men, one on each side of the Rhine, though they are friends.After the Romans defeated and made the tribes of Germania swear allegiance to the former's empire, the latter must provide them with hostages to prove their goodwill in maintaining the alliance. Ermanamer, the son of the chief of the Cherusci, is brought to Rome. At the same time in Italia, Marcus Valerius Falco, the son of a veteran officer, is brought to the capital by his father, who is to meet with the Emperor. The elder Falco is charged with Ermanamer, who is renamed Arminius, in order to make him a true Roman along with his own son. Through long and arduous training, the two young men come to bond to the point of being blood-brothers. But Ermanamer has his own calling on the other side of the Rhine...

A Father to His Men: Arminius, Marcus, and Prefect Eggius. As in Real Life, the last is one of the few Roman officers who actually attempts to lead his troops competently during the Battle of Teutoberg Forest. In this universe, he is slain by Segestes during the Romans' Last Stand at the Great Swamp.

Imminent Danger Clue: When a tree falls on the way and separates the colony, Marcus knows its a trick to scatter the troops. They are attacked a moment after that. Eggius also warns that the morning mists are excellent for allowing German warriors to creep up to and ambush Roman troops marching in the forests at close range. The Germans proceed to do exactly that.

Cruel and Unusual Death
 The Eagles of Rome (Comic Book) / int_1e584efa
comment
Cruel and Unusual Death: At the end of Book 5, Priscilla is raped by a group of German warriors and decapitated while being raped. Legatus Numonius Vala is cut in two along with his escort and horses when their retreat is intercepted by the Germans. Their body parts are hung from a tree and made into a grotesque display in the Great Swamp. Instead joining the Roman's Last Stand in the Great Swamp, Prefect Ceionius surrenders to the Germans in hopes of receiving better treatment. He is rewarded by being stripped naked, spread-eagle tied, and is made to bleed to death from having his genitals severed. All in full view of not only the Roman camp, but also the reader.

Know When to Fold Them: Segestes is a Germanic chieftain who is very pro-Roman. However, when it becomes clear that he has been Out-Gambitted by Ermanamer and his Roman allies ignore his intelligence about Ermanamer's plans (believing his words to merely be the slander of an aggrieved father who is mad that his daughter eloped with a man he did not choose for her), he reluctantly joins with Ermanamer's uprising. Ermanamer, for his part, is glad that his father-in-law is now an ally.

Foregone Conclusion: Due to being a Historical Domain Character, anyone with basic knowledge of Roman history will know that Arminius will eventually betray the Romans and lead a successful revolt against them. They will also know that Varus will be too trusting of Arminius and be manipulated by him into leading three Roman legions into a death trap.

comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: Ermanamer is very aware of the superiority in number and strategy of the Romans, but thanks to sabotage, he manages to spread the legions enough so that the final battle is this. It's a direct contrast to the very first scene in Book 1, which is a crushing German defeat at the hands of the Romans.

Similarly, Marcus is the son of a Roman war commander and a German princess, but his father wouldn't allow him to embrace anything from his mother's side.

Son of a Whore: Priscilla is revealed to be the daughter of Morphea, a High-Class Call Girl in high demand in Rome. It speaks greatly to Morphea's social status that Priscilla was legitimated as the legal daughter of the Roman patrician who sired her.

Artistic License – History
 The Eagles of Rome (Comic Book) / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: While the series by and large is brilliantly researched, several of the historical events depicted are condensed, simplified, or had their sequence of events altered for the sake of efficient storytelling. The conclusive stage of the Battle of Teutoberg Forest, which occurred in a large swamp now known as Kalkriese Hill, is depicted as follows: Varus and his officers lead their battered army away from the forest swarming with Germans and into the Great Swamp. On their way there, Legatus Vala attempts to flee back across the Rhine on his own accord, but is intercepted and killed. The Romans enter the Great Swamp only to find themselves trapped by Arminius' army behind a long wooden wall, and Prefect Eggius is forced to take command of the Romans when Varus is too traumatized to do so. Prefect Ceionius then surrenders and is captured to be tortured in full view of the Romans, which is followed by the Germans storming the field and slaughtering most of the defiant Romans and Eggius with them. In contrast, most historians purport that the final battle was less one-sided, and archeological evidence suggests that the Romans attacked the German wall and actually breached it in several places. Based on new archeological evidence, a newer theory suggests that the wall may actually been built and manned by the Romans as part of a last-ditch fortress. Arminius was supposed to have a younger brother, Flavia, who was also brought up in Rome and joined the army. Flavus forsake his Germanic roots and choose to stay with the Romans. Supposedly, the author decided to combine this arc into Marcus' story. However, a dying Sigmar does mention Ermanamer having a brother who had embraced Roman culture. By the naming standards of the time, Lucilla's name should be Valeria, as Romans women were called for their father's family name (here, Titus Valerius Falco). Priscilla, for example, is the daughter of Priscus.

Enemy Mine: On the German side, Arminius/Ermananer exploits Varus' tyrannical rule to create a coalition out of the various tribes that normally feuded and fought each other over land and whether to be Roman influenced. Even Segestes, the most pro-Roman chieftain who planned on marrying off his daughters to Romans, eventually joins the coalition and slays a horrified Prefert Eggius in the climatic battle. However, he does let Cabar escape with Marcus after the battle. On the Roman side, Marcus is freed and armed to help fight Arminius' revolt. In the climax, even Lepidus sets aside his feud to fight alongside Marcus against the Germans.

Big Bad Ensemble
 The Eagles of Rome (Comic Book) / int_72cdfc33
comment
Big Bad Ensemble: While Arminius serves as the main threat by rallying the Germanic tribes against the Romans, Lepidus is the obstacle in Marcus's relationship with Priscilla (not to mention that he plans on usurping Augustus). At the end of Book 5, Arminius kills Lepidus at the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, cementing himself as the main antagonist of the book.

You Have to Believe Me!

comment
You Have to Believe Me!: Caelius is uneasy about how elusive the tribesmen have become, how merchants appear to be spying on the Romans based in Germania and how the forthcoming expedition could be open to attack. Most of the veteran officers dismiss his concerns due to his youth. Marcus also tries to warn Varus of Arminius' treachery but is framed for the murder of a fellow Roman and thus disbelieved by Varus and other officers until it is too late.

A Threesome is Manly: Marcus and Arminius have threesomes with various prostitutes during their time in Rome, being blood brothers and all. Subverted, in that the classic trope is a one guy-two girls power fantasy situation, while this, despite oozing the male power fantasy, is a one girl-two guys situation.

Arranged Marriage
 The Eagles of Rome (Comic Book) / int_80621707
comment
Arranged Marriage: A central motif in the plot, as upper class Roman families created and maintained ties to one another in this manner. Marcus' father and his mother Albinia. See Altar Diplomacy above. Marcus is betrothed to Silvia, the daughter of a patrician. She loves him, but he hates her for not being Priscilla. Lucilla is married off to a fat old Roman senator, though she asks Arminius to deflower her before she leaves. When they run into each other in Rome, Lucilla turns out to be pretty happy. The senator in question is quite the hedonist, and their marriage is an open one. Priscilla is married to Quintus Aemilius Lepidus, the grandson of one of Emperor Augustus' disgraced rivals, as part of a bid by the latter to regain his family's power in Rome.

Since they're already head over heels in love with each other prior to this incident, she's very happy with this state of affairs. Segestes later resigns himself to the reality that Arminius is now his son-in-law.

Not only does this lead to the unnecessary deaths of dozens of German warriors at the hands of Marcus and his troops, but the latter nearly succeed in warning Varus about Arminius' treachery and plans for a revolt.

Defiant to the End: A recurring trope in the series given its emphasis on military life and history. During a Roman cavalry raid on his village, an adolescent German boy picks up a slain warrior's sword to challenge Lepidus despite being obviously no match for an adult Roman soldier. During the finale of Book 5, Prefect Eggius leads the remnants of Varus' now broken Roman army in a Last Stand at the Great Swamp, where Ermanamer's army is waiting for them behind wooden walls that leave the Romans trapped in it. He gives a fatalistic Rousing Speech that kickstarts the battle by ending with an insult to the Germans' main god:

Abusive Parents: As normal as his behavior is for his time, Falco Sr is physically and mentally abusive of his son, and it shaped Marcus as a man. Lepidus repeatedly insults and terrifies Titus, and repeatedly beats and rapes his mother in front of him, to the point that Titus attempts to murder him in his sleep, before Priscilla stops him.

Hyper-Competent Sidekick: On the Roman side, Arminius appears to be this to Varus. He's actually a Dragon with an Agenda. Cabar, an African warrior-slave, is this to both Morphea and Marcus. Initially Morphea's trusted bodyguard, she assigns him to accompany Marcus to Germania in order to return her daughter Priscilla and grandson Titus to Rome. After Tassilo is killed by the Germans, Cabar takes his place as Marcus' aide, and not only survives the ensuing Battle of Teuteberg Forest while slaying dozens of German warriors, but rescues Marcus in the process.

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: Played with. While the scene where Morphea rapes Marcus is disturbing and drawn as such, it is still filled with fanservice, and the emotional heart of the scene is less the rape and more the misunderstanding that follows. Meanwhile, in the following scene, a man is prevented from comitting the exact same crime, to the same victim, because that would be the sort of rape that would actually kill the power fantasy.

"Ray of Hope" Ending: One for the Roman side. Everything Marcus and his troops have done to warn Varus about Arminius' plans is all for nought and three Roman legions are destroyed. All the competent Roman officers such as Eggius, Caelius, and Tassilo are killed. Priscilla dies a gruesome death at the hands of Arminius and the Germans, who enslave Titus. However, Marcus and Cabar survive the Battle of Teutoburg Forest and successfully prevent the last eagle standard from being captured before slipping away. Anyone with further knowledge will know that Rome will send another army under Germanicus to avenge Varus'.

Arminius was supposed to have a younger brother, Flavia, who was also brought up in Rome and joined the army. Flavus forsake his Germanic roots and choose to stay with the Romans.

Cain and Abel: Marcus is the Abel to his half-sister Lucilla's Cain. She constantly bullied him back when they were children and was responsible for poisoning his mother. Years later, he tosses her off a balcony after she brags about it.

A Real Man Is a Killer
 The Eagles of Rome (Comic Book) / int_f5e59782
comment
A Real Man Is a Killer: As a boy, Ermanamer secretly tags along with his father Sigmar's band of warriors. He's almost killed by a warrior from a rival tribe, but manages to kill the attacker instead. Sigmar is furious, but also pleased that his son has become a man. Lepidus is abusive to Titus, who he has long-suspected is not actually his biological son, because he perceives Titus to be soft, weak, and unmmanly. After killing a German boy of Titus' age on a raid, Lepidus even tells Titus that the German boy - who challenged Lepidus with a sword - would have made a better son had he been a Roman.

Love Makes You Dumb
 The Eagles of Rome (Comic Book) / int_f7883b17
comment
Love Makes You Dumb: At least, when mixed with alcohol. A drunk Marcus comes to ask for Priscilla's hand while fully knowing she is betrothed (and the fiancé is in the next room). Priscilla asks her father to spare him, calling him an idiot, and he lets him go because he was young and stupid too once and they never had sex before. Arminius repeatedly warns Marcus that he is too easily distracted by Priscilla's "bewitched pussy", and Marcus' refusal to heed his advice destroys their brotherhood.

During the finale of Book 5, Prefect Eggius leads the remnants of Varus' now broken Roman army in a Last Stand at the Great Swamp, where Ermanamer's army is waiting for them behind wooden walls that leave the Romans trapped in it. He gives a fatalistic Rousing Speech that kickstarts the battle by ending with an insult to the Germans' main god:

Friend Versus Lover: Arminius doesn't approve of Marcus' relationship with Priscilla, as he believes it could ruin his career (not unreasonably), and foils his plan to elope with her. Apparently, he still dislikes her years after, allowing his men to brutally rape and murder her.

Ephebophile: Marcus and Arminius's trainer is an old gladiator with a thing for very young men, though Marcus said that if he ever approached him too close, he'd cut off his cupidus. Marcus's father also has a young man for a favorite, and Varus beds his squire. This was acceptable for the time period, so long as the younger partner was a slave and not a Roman citizen.

 The Eagles of Rome (Comic Book) / int_ffad4e9f
comment
Shown Their Work: Though it inevitably had to take some liberties - Marcus and other characters are fictional since details about Arminius' life under Roman captivity are vague - the series is arguably one of the most historically accurate comic depictions of Ancient Rome. Each book begins with a preface and maps about the historical background of the plot, and ends with a glossary explaining vocabulary used by the ancient Romans and Germans. The costuming is so accurate that Lepidus' battle mask is based off of an actual Roman artifact discovered at the site of the Battle of Teuteberg Forest.
