  Taurini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Taurini were an ancient Celt-Ligurian people, who occupied the upper valley of the river Po, in the centre of the modern Piedmont.
It is believed that a Roman colony was established in 27 BC with the name Castra Taurinorum and afterwards Julia Augusta Taurinorum (Turin).
209) speak of the country of the Taurini as including one of the passes of the Alps, which points to a wider use of the name in earlier times.

 Hannibal (General) - LoveToKnow Watches
His sudden appearance among the Gauls, moreover, enabled him to detach most of the tribes from their new allegiance to the Romans before the latter could take steps to check rebellion.
After allowing his soldiers a brief rest to recover from their exertions Hannibal first secured his rear by subduing the hostile tribe of the Taurini (mod.
Turin), and moving down the Po valley forced the Romans by virtue of his superior cavalry to evacuate the plain of Lombardy.

 Battle of Telamon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Romans had even decided to close the Temple of Janus in the Forum, something that only occurred when there was peace throughout Roman lands.
In 225 BC an alliance of Gallic tribes (Taurini, Taurisces, Insubres, Lingones, Salasses, Agones, and Boii) and mercenaries (Gesati) from Transalpine Gaul moved into Etruria through an unguarded pass in the Apennines.
To meet this invasion, the Romans called on the Insubres enemies, the (Adriatic) Veneti, the Patavini, and the Cenomani, who rapidly mobilised defensive forces.

The first people he came to were the Taurini, a semi-Garlic tribe.
As tradition is unanimous on this point I am the more surprised that a question should be raised as to what route Hannibal took over the Alps, and that it should be generally supposed that he crossed over the Poenine range, which is said to have derived its name from that circumstance.
It is highly improbable that those routes to Gaul were available at that time, and in any case the Poenine route would have been closed by the semi-German tribes who inhabited the district.

 TURIN DOWN THE AGES
When, in 218 BC, Hannibal decided to surprise the Romans by choosing to enter Italy by the backdoor - across the Alps - it is believed that he found the Taurini, tribes of Ligurian Celtic stock, already established in the hills of the area.

TAURINI, an ancient Ligurian people, although the name may be of Celtic origin, who occupied the upper valley of the Padus (Po) in the centre of the modern Piedmont.
It is not known when they definitely became subject to the Romans, nor when the colony of (Julia) Augusta Taurinorum (Torino, Turin) was founded in their territory (probably by Augustus after the battle of Actium).

Turin was founded 2300 years ago by the TAURINI Gauls, a Celtic tribe.

The glittering snow-capped Alps, just 30 kilometers away, encircle the city in a protective and imposing embrace and offer breathtaking views in the magical misty mornings or in the fiery sunset skies.

Most of the other historically long-favored candidates are either too low around 6,000-7000 ft (1700-2000 meters altitude) - including Mont Genevre, Mont-Cenis, Petit-St-Bernard - to have old snow from a past winter as Polybius noted when the descending elephants broke through fresh snow and slipped on ice from the previous winter.
They also do not debouche toward the Taurini or have little to no pasturage and space to accommodate an army at their summit and too high for elephants altogether (Col du Traversette, favored by Gavin de Beer in 1952 and Prevas in 1998).
A few other passes might be possible that have not yet been considered rising from the Val Cenis close to Col du Clapier, itself part of the Arc river watershed that drains into the Isere and then into the Rhone westward.
