The
Allobroges were a warlike nation in
Gaul located between the
Rhône River and the Lake of Geneva 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.
