Modena. The Etruscans were forced to abandon the fertile valleys they had partially reclaimed, due to an Indo-European population descending from the Western Alps: the Boii Gauls, who settled where Campo Galliano now stands. They also changed the name of the Etruscan settlement from Mutuna to Mouden. Vast reclaimed areas returned to being marshland. In 192 BC, the Gauls were defeated by the Romans, who turned Mutina (the name was changed) into an important Roman military fort.
