It was fought at the confluence of the rivers Tiber and Allia, eleven Roman miles (16 km) north of Rome.  The Romans were routed and subsequently the Senones sacked Rome.

The ancient Greek historian Polybius, who used a Greek dating system, derived the date 387/6 BC.  Plutarch wrote that the battle took place just after the summer solstice when the moon was near the full, a little more than three hundred and sixty years from the foundation of Rome.  That would be shortly after 393 BC.  Tacitus said that the battle took place the 15 before the Kalends of August, which is 18 July.

  Title: Battle of Ticinus
  Passage: The Battle of Ticinus was a battle of the Second Punic War fought between the Carthaginian forces of Hannibal and the Romans under Publius Cornelius Scipio in November 218 BC.  The battle took place in the flat country of Pavia county on the right bank of the Ticino River, not far north from its confluence (from the north) with the Po River.  The battle is named from the river, not the nearby contemporaneous settlement of Ticinum (today's Pavia).  Although the precise location is not known, it is generally accepted that a settlement known today as Vigevano is mentioned in Livy's text and that Scipio's camp was to the south at Gambolo, whose coordinates are given on the map.  The conflict would have been west of there.  It was the first battle of the war against the Romans that was fought on Italian soil and the first battle of the war to employ legion-sized forces.  Its loss by the Romans, and the temporary disablement of Scipio's command, set the stage for the Roman disaster at the Battle of Trebbia in December.
