The Gauls,Livy here digresses to describe the migration of the Gauls to Asia Minor in 278 B.C. a vast horde of men, whether moved by shortage of land or hope of plunder, feeling assured that no people through which they would pass was their match in war, under the leadership of Brennus came into the country of the Dardanians.Livy omits to mention the visit to Greece and the attack on Delphi (xlviii. 2 below; XL. lviii. 3).
There strife broke out among them; about twenty thousand men, with Lonorius and Lutarius as their chiefs, seceded from Brennus and turned aside into Thrace.
There, when they had penetrated as far as Byzantium, contending against those who resisted and imposing tribute upon those who sought peace, they occupied for a considerable time the coast of the Propontis, holding as tributaries the cities of the district.
Then the desire of crossing into Asia seized them, as they heard from their neighbours how rich was this land; and having takenB.C. 18

COMPITUM FABRICIUM
(search)
COMPITUM FABRICIUM
evidently the intersection of the vicus Fabricius
(CIL vi. 975) and some other street, where there was also a lacus. It
was near the CURIAE NOVAE (q.v.: Fest. 174), and very probably on the
western slope of the Caelian hill. It is said to have received its name
(Placidus 45, Deuerl.) from the fact that a house was given to
Fabricius at this point ob reciperatos de hostibus captivos. The Fabricius
referred to is probably the ambassador to Pyrrhus in 278 B.C. (cf. Cic.
Brut. 55). The vicus Fabricii is known only from the Capitoline Base,
where it is the last street in Regio I (RE vi. 1930; HJ 201).
Heracleides
8. Tyrant or ruler of Leontini at the time when Pyrrhus landed in Sicily, B. C. 278.
He was one of the first to offer submission to that monarch. (Diod. Exc. Hoeschel. xxii. p. 296.)
Hierocles
2. A Carian leader of mercenaries, which formed part of the garrison in the forts of Athens, under Demetrius Poliorcetes.
He discovered to his commanding officer, Heracleides, some overtures which had been made to him by the Athenians to induce him to betray into their hands the fortress of the Museum, and thus caused the complete destruction of the Athenian force that attempted to surprise it. (Polyaen. 5.17.1.)
He is probably the same whom we find at a subsequent period (as early as B. C. 278), holding the command of the Peiraeeus and Munychia for Antigonus Gonatas. His relations within the philosopher Arcesilaus appear to indicate that he was a man of cultivated mind. (D. L. 2.127, 4.39; Droysen, Hellenism. vol. ii. pp. 84, 206.)
