Allobroges



         


The Allobroges were a warlike nation in Gaul located near the Rhône River in what later became Savoy, Dauphiné, and Vivarais.

The Allobroges were made offers to join in the Catiline conspiracy, but they refused the offers and exposed the plot in 63 B.C. The Romans destroyed their city.
