“Barbarians” chronicles the pivotal events leading to the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, where an alliance of Germanic tribes decisively halted the Roman Empire’s expansion into their homeland. With Laurence Rupp and Jeanne Goursaud leading the charge, the series delves into the personal and political struggles of these historical figures, offering a nuanced portrayal of an era defined by power, betrayal, and rebellion.
