Patavium > Padua > Padova Veneto Italy

Cleonymus, expelled from southern Italy, sails to the north across the Adriatic Sea to land at the coast of the Veneti.

The Veneti have recurring fights with the Celtic peoples who occupy most of Northern Italy, but also have peaceful relations with the Cenomani Celts who have settled in the region of Brescia and Verona; they will eventually absorb them.

From the mouth of the Meduacus (now Brenta River) he sails upstream to the country of Patavium (now Padua) and raids the nearby villages, but the natives defeat him and he suffers great losses —allegedly four fifths of his ships are destroyed—and Cleonymus has to leave the territory of Patavium.

It is unknown how his campaign ended.
