One by One the Gauls Followed Each Other. This scene represents the Gallic invasion of Rome in 390 Back in Rome, according to tradition, the Gauls attempted to infiltrate the Capitoline by climbing the hill near the Temple of Carmentis, a goddess of birth. The Gauls gained the summit, eluded the Roman guards and did not even wake the dogs. They could not sneak by the temple of Juno, however, as the honking of her sacred geese finally alerted the guards. Led by Marcus Manilus, the Roman guards confronted the Gauls.
