  Title: Battle of the Allia
  Passage: The Battle of the Allia was fought between the Senones (one of the Gallic tribes which had invaded northern Italy) and the Romans.  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 common date given for the battle is 390 BC.  This is based on the account of the battle by the Roman historian Livy and the Varronian Chronology, a Roman dating system.  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.

Cape Esperance ( ) is the northernmost point on Guadalcanal, and the battle took its name from this point.

The battle took place on the hills north of Verdun-sur-Meuse in north-east France.  The German 5th Army attacked the defences of the Fortified Region of Verdun ("RFV, Région Fortifiée de Verdun") and those of the French Second Army on the right bank of the Meuse.  Inspired by the experience of the Second Battle of Champagne in 1915, the Germans planned rapidly to capture the Meuse Heights, an excellent defensive position with good observation for the artillery to bombard Verdun.  The Germans hoped that the French would commit their strategic reserve to recapture the position and suffer catastrophic losses in a battle of annihilation, not costly for the Germans because of their tactical advantage.
  Title: Second Battle of Passchendaele
