Battle of Allia

The battles of Allia , saw the victory of the Celtes Cénomans, Boïens, Lingons and Sénons over the Roman forces. The Roman , cash a good number of inexperienced soldiers, left Rome in haste and started the combat close to the river Allia without preparation. Tite-Live justifies the Roman defeat by nonthe respect of religious rites and by the precipitation of the command: " The military powerful orators without to have chosen the site of their camp in advance, without to have raised a cutting off which could offer a retirement to them, and not remembering more the gods that men, arrange the army in battle, without taking the Auspices and immoler of victimes."

Quickly submerged, they quickly escaped in direction of Veies and lost many men. Only the right wing could be folded up on Rome. Three days later, the Celts took Rome, dismantled majority of its defenders.
