 They immediately sent two armies to Ariminum (modern Rimini) and Arretium (modern Arezzo) in order to block an eventual advance of Mago to the south.It looked as if the Romans were going to pay for their failure to capitalize from the victory at the Metaurus river by conquering the Cisalpine Gauls once and for all, but the danger caused by Mago’s landing was not to be overestimated.Even when he received reinforcements from Carthage in the form of about 7,000 troops, 7 elephants, and 25 warships, his strength was still far from enough to break the Roman defences.
