@@smal750 A case can be made for either which way the French owe their identity to the Franks or Gauls, I personally lean more towards the Franks considering how markedly Gallic died out on the continent compared to the British Isles. As for Carthage the fact that they never built a new capital suggests they were merely scattered across the Mediterranean, probably wasn’t too much of an issue given they were already a diaspora like their predecessors, the Phoenicians.
The arrival of Camillus at the end and suddenly easily winning against the Gauls that had previously been unbeatable, feels very much like a later addition so the Romans could claim they won the engagement after all.
That was propaganda of the II and I BC centuries. Diodorus and Strabo recorded that the soldiers of Caere really destroyed the Brennus' army, and some familiar tradition as the Livius Drusus claimed that they recovered the plunder many years later in the senones' homeland.
As you said in the later video, much of it it's legend, not history, though not because the sack of Rome (archaeology says there was no sign of destruction of the city in that years) but for the augustean propaganda. Camillus, if truly existed, play no part in this event. Aristotle said that "a certain Lucius" saved Rome, probably carrying the idols to Caere (as Lucius Albinius tradition recorded) and the Brennus' senones were probably defeated by the Caere soldiers, according to Diodorus and Strabo. Indeed, the sack of Rome were a consequence of the her alliance with Caere, who Dionysus want to punish.
Highlight of my week!
This is still some of the best content on UA-cam!
The return of the king!
The Romans despised Kings

The Gauls and Carthage have a lot in common, well, they have nothing actually because Rome wiped them from existence.

In the animation, the weights on the scale would have been tampered with in the Romans' favor.
What's the instrumental at 3:35?

It was exaggerated by Romans
Gauls treated them much better than Romans treated their allies.
It was a complete victory of Gauls
