	~~''' Publius Quinctilius Varus''' was a Roman general and governor of Syria.~~

	~~==Overview==~~

	Publius Quinctilius Varus was an influential Roman politician and general at the time of Emperor [[Augustus]]. Although his father had supported Brutus against Julius Caesar, Varus sided with [[Augustus]], becoming a close friend of his and [[Tiberius]]'.

	~~In 8-7 BCE Varus was appointed Governor of Africa (modern Tunisia). In 7 BCE he arrived as Governor in Syria, where~~
	~~he became known for his harsh rule. Varus supported [[Herod the Great]]'s accusation against his own son [[Antipater II]] and had him executed.~~

	At the death of [[Herod the Great]] in 4 BCE there were riots in the land of Israel led by [[Judas the Galilean]], [[Simon of Perea]], and [[Athronges]]. Varus intervened and mercilessly suppressed any rebellion, destroying the Galilean capitol [[Sepphoris]] and the city of [[Emmaus]]. Josephus, who compared Varus' invasion to [[Antiochus IV Epiphanes]]' and [[Pompey]]'s, says that on that occasion Varus crucified more than 2,000 rebels. His cruelty created lasting popular resentment.

	Varus came back to Rome and was then appointed governor of Germania. In 9 CE, in a failed attempt to subdue some German tribes, he suffered a devastating defeat in the battle of the Teutoburg Forest and committed suicide.
