Around 600–400 BC, overpopulation drove Celtic tribes over the Alps into Italy's fertile plains. Driving the Etruscans out of the Po Valley, the Bituriges founded Mediolanum (modern Milan). Dominating from the Alps to the Adriatic, the Gauls expanded south just as a young Roman Republic was conquering Veii—setting up an inevitable clash. #AncientRome #CelticHistory #GallicWars #HistoryShorts #Etruscans #AncientHistory #MilanOrigins
