Historical background
COSCONIA
(118 BC)
Quintus Fabius Maximus and Cnæus Domitius Ahenobarbus, respectively consuls in 122 and 121 BC, won a brilliant victory over the allied troops of the Allobroges and the Arvernes commanded by the Arverne king Bituit in 121 BC, which moreover put an end to the Arverne empire, brought the Allobroges into the Roman orbit as a client tribe and brought the Gallic "civitates" to emancipate themselves from Arverne tutelage. The bursting of Gaul in multiple entities was to allow Rome to establish a lasting peace in the new province (Provincia) organized from 118 before J. - C. and "to divide for better reigning". Bituit, taken prisoner, participated in the triumph of Quintus Fabius Maximus, his conqueror, in his own solid silver chariot, before being executed by strangulation as tradition dictated..
