Perhaps it should have said France and its predecessors.

"387 B.C. Battle of Allia. *The outnumbered Gauls, led by Brennus,
defeat the army of the Roman Republic led by Quintus Sulpicius and
ultimately go on to sack Rome itself. "

Brennus? Asterix must have been having a day off.

Must admit, Asterix was the first thing that came to mind when I
looked that up.
