    Default Looking for Sources on Brennus' Sack of Rome

    I'm undertaking an essay for a history course and was wondering if anyone could help me with this topic. I'm particularly interested in which primary sources mention the Gallic sack of Rome. I know Livy mentions it in book 5. I've also heard that Polybius and Diodorus Siculus mentions it but I have not been able to find the passages in their books.

    Any help finding these sources, and even more obscure ones, is greatly appreciated.

    EDIT: I would like to add that any good modern sources are also appreciated, but I generally find ancient sources harder to find.
