The Gauls sack Delphi, where Brennus is…

279 BCE

The Gauls sack Delphi, where Brennus is wounded in battle; in the subsequent retreat northward, few Gauls escape.

Brennus avoids capture by committing suicide.

The Aetolians are mainly responsible for driving this major Gallic invasion from the peninsula.
