Teutobod

Teutobod was a king of the Teutons, who, together with the allied Cimbri, invaded the Roman Republic in the Cimbrian War and won a spectacular victory at the Battle of Arausio in 105 BC. He was later captured at the Battle of Aquae Sextiae in 102 BC. In legend, he was known as Teutobochus or Theutobochus, a giant and king of the Teutons. Large bones discovered in France in 1613 were claimed to be his skeleton.
