Allia is a small river in
Lazio,
Italy. It is a left tributary of the
Tiber with confluence about from
Rome. The Allia's source is located in the mountains near the location of
Crustumerium and it flows near
Monterotondo towards the Tiber.
The confluence of Allia and the Tiber is the site of the
Battle of the Allia, where
Romans were defeated by the
Gallic tribe
Senones under
Brennus in 387 BC.
