ArchivesRe: Wondering about Arminius
in reply to a message by Nansee
Nansee,
I would say Arminius is simply a Latinized rendering of the Germanic name Armin or Hermann. I'm sure the Romans had no occasion to use or think about the name until the German chieftain Hermann (Arminius) kicked their heinies at the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in AD 9.
- Da.
