Ancient Rome VII - Invasion by the Gauls

This is the seventh of many chapters in History with a Twist of Lime's look on "The Historical History of Ancient Rome." This chapter looks at the defeat and sacking of Rome in 387 BC at the hands of the invading Gallic Senone peoples from modern-day France, and the exorbitant ransom that the Gallic chief Brennus made Roman dictator Camillus and the city pay in return for their departure. We also see how Rome rebounded from the loss to the Gauls, tightening their military tactics and constructing the Servian Wall around the city, allowing Rome to become an even stronger presence in the Italian peninsula.

As this is one of many chapters being produced over this project, I would invite you to watch the other chapters dealing with the history of Ancient Rome. They can be viewed seamlessly under this playlist on YouTube:
