  • In our animated historical documentary on the Gallic War and Gaius Julius Caesar, we will cover the war between the Romans and the Celts in modern France, and the battles of Bibracte, Vosges, Axona, Sabis, Gergovia, Alesia, alongside Caesars invasions of Britain and Germany. In these battles, Caesar and his legionaries fought against Helvetii led by Divico, Suebi led by Ariovistus, Belgae led by Galba, Nervii led by Boduognatus, Britons led by Cassivellaunus, Eburones led by Ambiorix and Arverni led by Vercingetorix. The Roman Civil war against Pompey is just around the corner.

It respects the intelligence of its viewers and understands that most of us have familiarized ourselves with the historical context through content on other RUclips channels (Historia Civilis' "His Year" series is a great 100-level introduction to the major players of the late Republic), elsewhere on the Internet (like Mike Duncan's History of Rome podcast), or in books.

      It makes me extremely sad that the Gauls for the most part are forgotten and overlooked, the Germanics get all the spotlight and attention.

      @@NicaraguanNacatamale The Y-DNA haplogroup is a genetic marker passed down only from fathers to sons. Of these Y-DNA haplogroups there's R1b - a Celtic genetic marker, which is the dominant marker amongst the French, Wallonians, Spaniards/Portuguese (Celto-Iberians) and northern Italians (Cisalpine Gaul) whereas the dominant marker for the Flemish, Dutch, Germans, Austrians etc is the I1 - a Germanic genetic marker. So the Wallonians are the true "Belgians" in the sense that you're the real descendants of the Gaulish Belgae of which Belgium was named after.

    Over 2,000 years later and Caesar's tactics in the Gaulic conflicts are still studied and the seige of Alesia remarkable.Looking at a video however one cannot truly comprehend the level of engineering and skill used by Rome. I've seen their walls, seige ramps, and aqueducts. That these were built with human and animal power aided with few mechanical tools makes them all the more amazing. Then there was sheer Roman bravery, tenacity, endurance, and utter ruthlessness. Their still standing edifices whould not be missed by anyone with an interest in history.

    One factor that doesn''t get talked about enough in these wars is that Rome had a standing army and reserve system while the tribal coalitions they fought had to be summoned from the region's tribes. The warriors of these tribes also often had to worry about their farms back home while the legionnaires did not.

      2) superior tactics
      3) superior logistics
      This is why they always won, usually heavily outnumbered.

Rome defeated the Gauls, Iberians, Carthaginians, greeks, macedonians, dacians, germans, persians, parthinans, armenians, egypitans, britons, thracians, and I could go on and on. Rome was and always will be the grestest and most prestigious empire which ever existed, countless nations tried to claim Rome's mantle (the HRE, Russia, Otoman empire, sultanate of Rum, even the papal states) but none will ever come close to Rome's glory. The Romans were building roads which endure to today times while African and American people lived in huts made of mud. A Roman Legion leaded by a conpetent commander could not be defeated by anyone in their time. ROMA INVICTA!!!

Well, their 'Vae Victis' was not to be forgotten and 3 centuries later the score was to be settled. Only this time the Gauls would not be facing women and children, but an army of legionaires, with 'square balls'. Pardon the 'french'.
