Sources are the best:
Polybius
On their side the Romans, even after this disaster, despaired of retaining their supremacy over the Italians, and were in
the greatest alarm, believing their own lives and the existence of their city to be in danger, and every moment
expecting that Hannibal would be upon them. For, as though Fortune herself were in league with the disasters
that had already befallen them to fill up the measure of their ruin, it happened that only a few days afterwards,
while the city was still in this panic, the Praetor who had been sent to the Gaul fell unexpectedly into an ambush
and perished, and his army was utterly annihilated by the Celts.
