From Peter Berresford Ellis in his book "The Celtic Empire":
"The Roman Acta Triumphalia says that Marcus Claudius Marcellus gained
the spolia opima, spoils of honour, for slaying Viridomar and triumphing
'over the Insubrian Celts and the Germans'. Now the Germans at
Clastidium were not there as invaders, nor were they fighting for their
own lands. Indeed, they were fighting under a Celtic commander with a
Celtic army."
