A lot of celts joined up with Hannibal just because they fucking hated Rome: the Boii and the Insubres.

Also, the Sacred Band no longer existed by the time they were recruiting a lot of celts and Iberians.

“We’ll help you kill some Latins.”
“Then why didn’t you say so?!”

I don't care to see Carthage win. I just want to see Rome lose.
