  Battle of Alesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Alesia or Siege of Alesia was a conflict fought in September 52 BC around the Gallic oppidum of Alesia, a major town centre and hill fort of the Mandubii tribe, situated probably at Chaux-des-Crotenay (Jura).
Alesia was the last major engagement between Gauls and Romans and marked the turning point of the Gallic Wars in favour of Rome.
The siege of Alesia is considered one of Caesar's greatest military achievements and is still one of the classic examples of siege warfare and circumvallation.

Alesia truly believes her calling at this time is to get this generation to a place where they can face what life brings and say “I AIN’T NEVER SCARED” and go back and take what the enemy has stolen from them; then they will go back to bring others who are bound out with them.

 Julius Caesar: The Last Dictator   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
He had built a series of fortifications around the isolated fortress of Alesia which was considered breathtaking even by Roman engineering standards -not one, but two, great circumvallations totaling between 10 and 13 miles each.
Yet his victory at Alesia and the surrender of Vercingetorix was so complete that many historians view the siege as definitive in the bloody attempt to impose Roman rule on "Long-haired Gaul." Caesar's final two years in the province were, after Alesia, largely mopping-up operations.
It was believed at the time, and remains, one of the Romans' greatest feats of wartime engineering, in a league with Masada and other structures which led the foes of Rome to simply disbelieve the evidence of their own eyes.

The Gauls decisively lost two of these and Vercingetorix retreated to the town of Alesia in east central Gaul.
He hoped that these two defensive lines (14 miles long on the outside, 11 miles long on the inside) would both prevent the Alesia force from breaking out of the siege and keep the relieving force from breaking into Alesia.
The relieving force - over a quarter of a million strong - with the Alesia group gave the Gauls approximately a six to one superiority in head count, but Caesar's men were superbly trained, equipped, and organized, and the thorough defenses were awesome.

He began a hasty withdrawal -- and this was to be his fatal mistake - towards Alesia, where he and his army planned to hide behind its walls.
He (or a concensus) coldly recommended that the women and children be placed outside the inner walls -- the first set of walls that surrounded Alesia -- and left to their own devices.
The helpless and unwanted members of Alesia were left to die of exposure and starvation - one by one -- as both armies looked on from their respective positions.

Instead, The Siege of Alesia presents a massive siege assault, with Caesar besieging Vercingetorix's Gauls, and the Gallic relief force attacking Caesar.
Featuring assualts on the ramparts of Caesar's fortifications from within and without, Alesia is a tense game between both sides as they try to guess what the other will do, and then try to outlast the ferocity of the attack and defense.
Another highlight of Alesia is the detailed fortification terrain effects, from the 25 miles of double walled ramparts, to the accurate placement of redoubts, to the extensive moats, spikes, traps, and pits with which Caesar circled both walls, the game's Gardens of Death.

Vassal of Lingons, the small Mandubiens peoples had established itself on the Mount Auxois, at the edge of this famous way of tin that was, once, the property of the great Sequane people, which explain its name: "sequanas way" or "dubis way", and then: "men of the dubis" -> Mandubiens.
