In about 387 BC a people called the Gauls attacked Rome and took over they city. Soldiers from the Senone Tribe of the Gauls (who were from Marche, on the east coast of Central Italy) sacked Rome, but did not take it over. They left after Rome agreed to pay 1,000 pounds of Gold. It is thought that they were mercenaries hired by Hierro of Syracuse (in Sicily) on their way south to Calabria (the toe of Italy) to fight there.
