Acichorius ( grc, Ακιχώριος) was one of the leaders of the Gauls, who invaded
Thrace and
Macedonia in 280 BC. He and
Brennus commanded the division that marched into
Paionia. In the following year, 279, he accompanied Brennus in his invasion of
Greece. Some writers suppose that Brennus and Acichorius are the same persons, the former being only a title and the latter the real name.
