Historical background

The Cherusci lived on the middle Weser; their chief Arminius destroyed the legions of Varus in AD 9. Like most Germanic peoples their warriors fought mainly with spear and shield; axes are attested among them, but not as the main weapon. After the death of Arminius the Cherusci quickly lost importance.
