Sides in the Battle of the Allia:
The Senones Gauls outnumbered and fought against the Romans. There were probably about 30,000 Celts to 10-15,000 Romans or 70,000 to 40,000.
The number of Gauls was overwhelming and the Romans, to avoid an encirclement, placed the troops on a wide front; Brennus first attacked the right wing of the Roman army, which was made of reserve troops placed on a hills.
The Roman right wing dispersed at once and this caused the scattering of the whole army, with a great number of Roman soldiers trying to flee towards Veii, swimming across the Tiber: many of them couldn't swim and drowned, even by the cuirass weight.
Winners and Losers:
* Winners - Gauls (Brennus).
* Losers - Romans (Q.Servius Fidenas, Quintus Sulpicius Longus, P.Cornelius Maluginensis).
Location:
The Allia was a tributary of the Tiber River north of Fidenae, not far from Rome.
Aftermath:
After a brief delay the Celts went on to Rome, which they sacked and occupied -- all except the Capitol, which remained safe partly because, according to popular legends, geese alerted the defenders to the presence of enemy Celts. After months of siege, the Celts were bribed with gold and left. Another story is that as the Romans weighed out the gold payment, and grumbled about it, Brennus threw his sword on the weights side, adding to the amount of gold the Romans needed to surrender and said, "Vae victis" [Woe to the conquered].
