It dealt a body blow to the empire's imperial pretensions and was Rome's greatest defeat. No other battle stopped the Roman empire dead in its tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough one of the most significant and dramatic battles in European history, this is also one which has been largely overlooked.
