Conquista de Roma pelos Gauleses (390 aC) (conquest of Rome by the Gauls in 390 BC)

Os Gauleses da tribo Senones da costa adriática comandados por Brennus marcharam sobre Roma e conquistaram-na em 390 aC. Atribuem-lhe a frase 'vae victis!' (triste sorte a dos vencidos) quando discutia o quantitativo do saque. A demora nas conversações permitiu a Marcus Furius Camillus recuperar a cidade.
The Gauls tribe Senones the Adriatic coast led by Brennus marched on Rome and conquered it in 390 BC. Assign him the phrase 'vae Victis! " (The sad fate of the losers) when discussing the amount of loot. The delay allowed the talks to Marcus Furius Camillus regain the city.
