In the Battle of Teutoburg Forest (9 A.D.), an alliance of Germanic tribes ambushed and annihilated three Roman legions, resulting in a permanent halt to the expansion plans of the Roman Empire into territories east of the Rhine river.
This is a late19th century interpretation of a form that dates back to around 1550. Bearded man jugs (Bartmannkr�ge) feature the face of a bearded man at the neck representing the mythical woodland Wild Man of Germanic folklore, a symbol of strength and endurance.
