Marcellus wins the [[spolia opima]] ("spoils of honour": the arms taken by a general who kills an enemy chief in single combat) for the third and last time in Roman history.<ref>Polybius, The Histories, 2.19.</ref>
* [[Mediolanum]] (modern [[Milan]]), [[fortification|stronghold]] of the [[Gaul|Gallic]] tribe of the [[Insubres]]
