The voice warned Caedicius of the oncoming attack and recommended that the walls of Rome be fortified. The city authorities did not believe his story and the Gauls entered the city without difficulty in 390 BC. The Romans eventually drove the Gauls away and that voice, named Aius Locutius, became a deity.
