The Celts made the Romans pay heavily. There was a measure set up and apparently Romans tried to not cough up the gold, so the Celtic King dropped his blade on the scales to unbalance them and demand more gold while saying "Vae Victis" or Woe to the Vanquished. Rome learned from this humiliation and grew stronger, and a few centuries later Ceaser did what is considered by some historians, a genocide in Gaul against the Celts.
Vae Victis indeed.

"VAE VICTUS!" - Brennus
πππ»πππ»
when the Celts made it to Rome, they held the city Ransom*
and said 'if they paid a certain number of talons of gold & silver that they would let the city go'( it was on the order of a few hundred pounds*)
when the Romans were adding to the scale what They thought was the proper amount but was still not balancing the scale*)
said that the Celts used different weights(deceitfully*) and were essentially cheating the scales !
the Celtic leader Brennus threw his sword on the side of the scale with the weights (to add just that much MORE weight that they'll need to add to balance the scale)
and he said to the Romans "Vae victus!"
(or "woe to the vanquished" or "tuff shit"/"loosers dont get to complain while surrendering" or "the defeated dont dictate the terms"
i take it as[that the best contemporary translation would be; *]
"sucks to be you"
/"do something about it"
or /"tough shit"

I feel like "decimated" was an exceptionally bad choice of word for the outcome of battle when used in the context of Romans. When used in reference to Rome, it has a different meaning; as in a form of extreme punitive disciplinary action against Rome's own soldiers by Roman military commanders.

And that was the last time the Romans ever heard from the Celtsβ¦
