18 juill. 390 av. J.-C. - Battle of the Allia

Description:

The Battle of the Allia was a battle fought c. 390 BC between the Senones (a Gallic tribe who had invaded northern Italy) and the Roman Republic. The battle was fought at the confluence of the Tiber and Allia rivers, 11 Roman miles (16 km, 10 mi) north of Rome. The Romans were routed and Rome was subsequently sacked by the Senones.

The date of the battle is commonly given as 390 BC (in the Varronian chronology), based on an account of the battle by the Roman historian Livy. The Greek historian Polybius used a Greek dating system and derived the date as 387 or 386 BC. Plutarch noted that the battle took place "just after the summer solstice when the moon was near the full a little more than three hundred and sixty years from the founding of Rome," or shortly after 393 BC. Tacitus listed the date as 18 July.
