The Galatians in Asia Minor, isn't it?
I.E., Thracian Gauls who came to Asia Minor at the behest of the King of Bithynia.

Carrhae? If this is a quiz, it belongs in the historical quiz section

Semisalis
Its not a quiz, purely a question
yeah i was thinking something about when the Gauls migrated to Galatia.
It was the gauls Crassus took with him on his ill-fated Parthian campaign. In particular, Plutarch is referring to the battle of Carrhae and the Gallic cavalry under the command of Crassus's son, Publius Crassus.
Edit: And to clarify, they were not Galatians but rather, Crassius's son had just come from campaigning with Caesar and brought the Gallic cavalry with him. Plutarch says 1000 handpicked men.
