Wine brought the Gauls to Italy. An Etruscan blacksmith named Arrunt decided to take revenge on one noble man, Lucumon, because he stole his wife. he crossed the Alps and brought wine to the Gauls. The Gauls were amazed by the rich, refreshing taste and aroma of this drink, and many of them decided to go to Italy and seize the lands that gave this previously unknown pleasure. Arruntus led the Gauls across the Alps along the Pennine Pass and sent them to Etruria. The last to arrive was the Senone tribe, led by the leader Brenn, and there was not enough room for them in the valley. This is what caused them to attack Clusia. The Romans did not attach much importance to the Gallic misfortune and, instead of troops, sent their ambassadors to Clusia in the hope of concluding a peace treaty with the Gauls. The bravest Roman ambassadors fought in the front ranks, and one of them, who turned out to be Quintus Fabius himself, rode out on a white horse and finished off the Gallic leader with a spear. The indignation of the Gauls knew no bounds. He left the Clusians alone, and he himself led the Gauls to Rome, demanding the extradition of Quintus Fabius. approaching Allia, Brenn noticed a Roman reserve standing on a hill.  The Gauls, howling and screaming, moved to the reserve, and when the rest of the Romans, lined up in the center, heard this, they immediately fled. Soon the reserve fled without meeting the enemy. Many Romans died then, but not from weapons, but from the greatest crush. Most of the Romans fled to Veii without reporting their defeat; a smaller part of the army fled to Rome and locked themselves in the Capitol, without warning the townspeople or locking the Roman gates. The Gauls entered Riya. By that time, all the youths and senators who were able to fight had already hidden in the Capitol. During the siege of the Capitol, the Gauls died in large numbers from hunger, disease, and heat.The tired Romans offered the Gauls to lift the siege for a ransom.
