Показать описание
Fallowing the fall of Rome's rival Veii, Romans found themselves facing an even greater threat. Brennus and the Sanons marched south from the Alps and defeated Roman armies in the fields. This left the city unguarded, and the Gauls entered the city unchallenged. Considering Romans were stuck inside the citadel, the Gausl decided to plunder the city of Rome.

Camillus the greatest Roman general of that time was not far away, and he would eventually come to save Rome from this disaster.

In the animation, the weights on the scale would have been tampered with in the Romans' favor.

It was exaggerated by Romans

Gauls treated them much better than Romans treated their allies.


It was a complete victory of Gauls
