In 390 BCE, the Senones and Rome clashed, and neither people would be the same afterward. The Ashes of Rome is set around 390 BCE (387/386 BCE is most likely) and broken up into three acts, each with three chapters. At the time, Celtic tribes were migrating south into Italy, where they came into contact with other peoples, like the Umbrians, the Etruscans, and, eventually, the Romans. The Senones (the Ancient Ones) were one such tribe.
Their capital city was Agendicum (today, Sens). Part of the tribe migrated south across the Alps into Italy, where they defeated the Umbrians, and settled in the northeast along the coast. At the same time, the Celts had earned a reputation as fierce warriors and were happy to hire out as mercenaries. They found work throughout the ancient world, including in Italy and Greece. It was a perfect recipe for conflict.
