GALLIA CISALPINA (Lat. Cis, on this side, i.e. of the Alps)

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 418 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GALLIA CISALPINA (Lat. Cis, on this side, i.e. of the Alps) , in ancient
geography
 , that portion of northern
Italy
 
north
  of Liguria and
Umbria
  and
south
  of the Alps, which was inhabited by various Celtic and other peoples, of whom the Celts were in continual hostility to Rome. In early times it was bounded on the S. by Liguria and the Aesis, in
Caesar
 's time by Liguria and the Rubicon. After the Second Punic War (203 B.C.) these tribes were severely punished by the Roman generals for the assistance they had rendered to Hannibal. Sulla divided the
district
  into two parts; the region between the Aesis and the Rubicon was made directly subject to the government at Rome, while the northern portion was put under a distinct authority, probably similar to the usual transmarine commands (see Mommsen, Hist. of Rome, Eng. trans., bk. iv. c. to).
For the early Celtic and other peoples and the later
history
  of the
district

  (ancient), and
