His triumph was celebrated after recovering two of the three legionary standards lost in the Battle of the Teutoburg forest, fought in 9 A.

When he was recalled to Rome by Tiberius, he was reassigned to a different command, and the next year he became a consul for the second time. </p><p><br /></p><p>May 27th, 1703: Tsar Peter the Great founded Saint Petersburg. The city was named after Saint Peter the Apostle, Peter’s patron saint. It was founded after conquering the land from Sweden in the Great Northern War.
