Taurini The Taurini were an ancient Gallo - Ligurian people , who occupied the upper valley of the river Po , in the centre of modern Piedmont . History . In 218 BC , they were attacked by Hannibal since his allies were the Insubres . The Taurini and the Insubres had a long - standing feud . Their chief town ( " Taurasia " ) was captured by Hannibal ' s forces after a three - day siege . As a people they are rarely mentioned in history . It is believed that a Roman colony was established in 27 BC with the name " Castra Taurinorum " and afterwards " Julia Augusta Taurinorum " ( modern Turin ) . Both Livy ( v . 34 ) and Strabo ( iv . p . 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 . The Taurini were the original ancient people of what is now present day Torino ( Turin ) ( Celtic and Ligurian in origin ( most likely from the Austrian Halstatt Celtic tribe from which all Celts descended ) co - joining with the Ligurian tribes peacefully , hence they are more accurately described as Celto - Ligurian ) . This small but strong Celto - Ligurian tribe was the origin of the city of Torino , Italy . The city symbol and coat of arms is the rampant bull , as Torino literally means " young bull " . Their decline appears to have been when they refused alliance with the invading Hannibal , who had already allied with the weaker Celtic - Gaul tribes that were enemies of the Taurini , and who had been beaten by the Taurini in several unsuccessful raids of the Taurini village ( Taurasia ) . It took Hannibal ' s force of 30 , 000 - 40 , 000 troops plus 100 armoured war elephants three days and nights of battle against the Taurini ' s 3 , 800 warriors before the Taurini succumbed to the superior numbers of Hannibal ' s force . It is estimated that Hannibal lost 11 , 000 troops and 17 war elephants in that battle . So enraged was Hannibal at the loss of his troops , and concerned that surrounding tribes might be encouraged to put on a show of similar resistance , that Hannibal ordered the butchering of all but a few remaining prisoners to make an example and send a clear message to others that dared resist an alliance . The effect was decisive and the surrounding tribes allowed Hannibal free passage without resistance . See also . Ancient peoples of Italy

Sabinus Iulianus Marcus Aurelius Sabinus Iulianus ( also known as Julian of Pannonia ; d . 285 - 286 ) was a Roman usurper ( 283 - 285 or 286 ) against Emperor Carinus or Maximian . It is possible that up to four usurpers with a similar name rebelled in a time - frame of a decade , but at least one of them is known by numismatic evidence . Usurper against Carinus ( 283 - 285 ) . Iulianus was a " corrector " in northern Italy , in 283 / 284 , ( and not a praetorian prefect as stated by some sources ) . Soon after the news of the death of Emperor Carus ( in 283 ) or Numerian ( in November 284 ) arrived in the western provinces , Iulianus revolted in Pannonia . He issued coins from Siscia , some of them bearing a legend celebrating Pannonia . Emperor Carinus , brother of Numerian , who had marched from Roman Britain to deal with the usurpation , met , defeated , and killed Iulianus early in 285 , in Italy ( possibly in Verona ) , or in Illyricum . According to some scholars , it is possible that two usurpers actually existed : a M . Aur . Iulianus , " corrector " in Italy , rebelled after Carus ' death , with the control of Pannonia , and defeated in Illyricum ; a Sabinus Iulianus , praetorian prefect , usurper in Italy after Numerian ' s death , defeated near Verona . Another usurper , simply named Iulianus , raised some turmoil in Africa Province , against Carinus , with the support of the Quinquegentani tribe . It has been proposed that the Julianus proconsul of Africa attested by an undated letter was put to death by Maximian with fabricated treason charges ; his figure of rebel in Africa should be , therefore , linked to Sabinus Iulianus ( see also Amnius Anicius Julianus ) . Usurper against Maximian and Diocletian . A third Iulianus is mentioned revolting between the time Maximian had been raised to the rank of " Augustus " ( 1 March 286 ) and the time Constantius Chlorus and Galerius became " Caesar " ( March 1 , 293 ) . The revolt of this Iulianus took place in Italy , but ended when , during a siege , a breach was opened in the walls of his city , and he threw himself in the fire .
HMS Eastbourne ( F73 ) HMS " Eastbourne " was a " Whitby " - class or Type 12 anti - submarine frigate of the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom . " Eastbourne " took part in the Royal Navy ' s Fleet Review in celebration of HM the Queen ' s Silver Jubilee . Harbour training ship . In 1972 , " Eastbourne " replaced as the ' afloat ' training ship for the artificer apprentices at HMS " Caledonia " . During their 14 weeks aboard ship , the apprentices were trained in general engineering and were examined for their auxiliary machinery certificates . In 1976 she was dispatched to Iceland to assist in the Cod War and was damaged in a collision with the Icelandic Gunboat Baldur . During the subsequent repairs in Rosyth in 1977 , a hull inspection found that " Eastbourne " was no longer fit for sea , though her machinery was still in good condition . Her propellers were removed , and ' brake wheels ' were fitted as a replacement . This enabled her to be steamed at full power with no forward movement . This enabled the apprentices to assist in operation of her machinery at full power , with the added benefit of churning the dockyard basin water up to improve its aeration . Officers under training from Royal Naval Engineering College Manadon were also able to be trained onboard before their first sea draft . In the 1980s , " Eastbourne " remained moored at Rosyth Dockyard alongside as harbour training ship for the marine engineering artificer apprentices of " Caledonia " . Once " Caledonia " was scheduled to close , both " Eastbourne " and " Duncan " were de - stored and paid off for disposal in March 1984 . Training of the marine engineering artificer apprentices was transferred to HMS " Sultan " .
