Roman Victories in Cisalpine Gaul
In 197 BCE, the Roman Republic achieved a series of significant victories in the Mutina area of Cisalpine Gaul, effectively breaking the resistance of the Boii, one of the largest Celtic tribes in the region. These victories marked a turning point in the Roman-Celtic conflict, leading to a contraction of Celtic control over the region.
