Did an affair spark the first Celtic invasion of Rome? When an Etruscan merchant sought revenge after his wife’s affair with an elite prince, he invited King Brennus of the Senones to attack Clusium. Rome sent three senators to mediate, but tempers flared and a Roman ambassador killed a Celtic prince! When Rome refused to extradite the killer, Brennus declared an all-out blood feud and marched straight for Rome! #AncientRome #CelticHistory #Brennus #GallicWars #HistoryShorts #RomanRepublic #AncientWarfare #Etruscans
