This set was originally produced by the Zimmerman foundry, in Hanau, Germany, circa 1850. The model, depicting the victory of Arminius, Prince of the Cherusci tribe, over the Roman general, was immensely popular and subsequently copied by other foundries. For further discussion on the Zimmerman foundry see the Chess Collectors International Convention program, May 2006.
