Good quiz, and sorely missed until now - but! Teutoburg Forest is not an accepted answer, despite being the answer shown. I tried loads of variations (Teutoburg Forest, Teutoburger Forest, Teutoburg Wald, Teutoburger Wald, Varian Disaster) before trying 'forest' in desperation! Please fix this! Also, as bonus answers you could have battles included in derivative works, e.g. the Battle of the Marne in Joseph Mitchell's work. Good job!

The question should read "Can you name the fights historical, from _ to _ in order categorical?" ;)

Thanks for your tips everyone. This is my first quiz, so I'm still working out some of the kinks. I fixed the problems you mentioned, but I don't really know any of the derivative works, so I'll have to look into that.

Yeah because there was never an important battle fought east of the Euphrates or south of Spain.
