“Battle of the Allia”
This article begins by explaining the Battle of Allia, and how Rome would eventually succumb to the Gaul’s due to this costly initial defeat. The article goes on by examining the after affects of Rome falling and ultimately the arrival of Camillus and his army signifying the recapturing of Rome. The article concludes with a brief summary regarding the Romans advancement in weapons, military organization, and important barricades. Also at the end is a very interesting story about how Rome never forgot the disgrace and humility that came with their city being sacked, and so each year on the anniversary of the battle they crucified guard dogs on the Capitoline Hill as Capitoline Geese watched seeing as their honking was the only call of warning.

Regarding interest to the subject I would recommend this article. It gives a brief but precise account of this particular battle. Although with the lack of sources it is difficult to consider the information factual, if not reliable. With all that aside however the article will tell you what you need to know without watering it down in fluff.
