ALLIENSIS PUGNA,
a Fight near the River Allier. The Tribunes going against the Gauls, with a more numerous Army than the Romans had ever sent out before on foot, gave them battel having the River Allier on their backs. The Fight was fierce and obsti∣nate on both sides, but at length the Gauls were Victors, and slew many of the Romans, because the River hindred their Flight. This day, being the first of August, was mark'd in the Ro∣man Kalendar, as a fatal and unfortunate day,
in the year from the Building of Rome 365. This Loss was more felt, and prejudicial to the Romans, as Cicero says, than the sacking of Rome by the same Gauls; Majores nostri funestio∣rem diem esse voluerunt Alliensis pugna, quàm urbis captae.
