TREMENDOUS TRIFLES
THE GEESE
THAT SAVED ROME
FROM THE GAULS
The honking of a flock, of geese
is given credit of saving Rome
from the Gauls in 390 B.C.
The Gauls, a barbarous tribe
of giants from the North, invaded
the Italian Boot in 390 B.C.
Harsh and cruel, these fierce war-
riors overran the Po Valley and
turned their eyes to the South
and Rome.
As the Gauls approached the
city, the Roman army formed a
line along the Tiber, but when
they saw the tall warriors they
fled in panic, leaving the walls of
Rome unprotected.
Without soldiers to guard the
city, there was only one other
place of safety — the Capitol.
Swiftly a thousand of the bravest
youths were chosen, and with
the Senate, the magistrates, and
priests, shut themselves within
the Capitol. They took with them
all the provisions of the city, and
all the gold. The populace was
left behind to shift for them-
selves; they fled to the country-
side.
After ransacking the city, the
Gauls attacked the Capitol. When
it could not be taken by frontal
attack, they encamped in li e
ruins of the city and lay do* n
■a seven months siege.
Autumn rains brought d.:s.?.*e
to >he Gauls, but still they wah^u
One night a courier, carrying a
message to the Senate from ra»
countrymen, made his way to a
certain point of the wall ana
-climbed a growth of vines into
the Capitol. He left the sam.
way.
Gallic warriors found the com--
ier’s footprints next morning. Tne
following night, July IS, 390
B.C., the Gauls stole to the foots
of the rampart. They ascended
1he wall on the vines, and miic
of them had actually reached th,-
battiements when the unexpected
happened. A great honking ciy
•broke the stillness. A flock of
.geese, sacred to Juno, hid been
■Startled out of sleep.
The clamor awakened ihe Re-
mans. The Gauls were pitched
to their death from the battle-
ments. The Capitol was saved.
Soon after, the Gauls, op-
pressed by disease and coil
weather, sought a pe.ue. Th.
Romans paid 1,000 poo;. '' h
gold ransom, and the Gauls re-
treated north again.
Thus the honking of geese ; -
tually saved Rome from L.
Gauls.
