====Celtic invasion of Italy====
{{Campaignbox Roman-Gallic Wars}}

By 390&nbsp;BC, several [[Gauls|Gallic tribes]] were invading Italy from the north. The Romans met the Gauls in pitched battle at the [[Battle of the Allia|Battle of Allia River]] around 390–387&nbsp;BC. The battle was fought at the confluence of the [[Tiber]] and [[Allia]] rivers, 11 [[Roman miles]] ({{convert|10|mi|km|abbr=on|disp=or}}) north of Rome. The Romans were routed and subsequently Rome was sacked by the [[Senones]].{{Sfn|Kruta|2000|p=189}} There is no [[destruction layer]] at Rome around this time, indicating that if a sack occurred, it was largely superficial.{{Sfn|Treves|2012}}{{Better source needed|date=May 2024|reason=Though this is an accurate reflection of the Treves source, the description of 'superficial' may be a bit reductive. A lot could happen that doesn't necessarily leave a destruction layer.}}
