 Belgica - Wikipedia
Gallia Belgica, später nur noch Belgica genannt, war eine der drei römischen Provinzen, die bei der Aufteilung Galliens durch Kaiser Augustus entstanden; die beiden anderen waren Gallia Lugdunensis in der Mitte und Gallia Aquitania im Südwesten.
Belgica umfasste den Norden und Osten des heutigen Frankreich, das westliche Belgien, die Westschweiz und den Jura bis zum Genfersee (Lacus Lemanus) hinunter, sowie das Einzugsgebiet der Mosel bis etwa 50 Kilometer vor der Mündung in den Rhein.
Bei der Verwaltungsreform Diokletians (Kaiser 284-305) wurde Belgica in die Provinzen Belgica I (Mosel) und II (von Reims bis zum Ärmelkanal) aufgeteilt und bildete dann mit den bisherigen Provinzen Lugdunensis, Germania Superior und Germania Inferior, Sequana (Westschweiz, Jura, später Maxima Sequanorum) und Alpes Graiae et Poeninae (siehe Alpes Poenina und Alpes Graiae) die Diözese Galliae.

 Gallia Lugdunensis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gallia Lugdunensis was a province of the Roman Empire in what is now the modern country of France.
Its original extent was from the rivers Seine and Marne in the north-east, which formed the boundary with Gallia Belgica, to the river Garonne in the south-west, which formed the border with Gallia Aquitania.
Under Augustus, Gallia Lugdunensis was reduced in size - the portion between the river Loire and the Garonne was given to Gallia Aquitania, and central-eastern portions were given to the new province of Germania Superior.

Al di là della Gallia Cisalpina e della Narbonese si estendeva la Gallia Barbarica, che i romani chiamavano Comata dall'uso dei suoi abitanti di portare i capellli lunghi: qui Roma avrebbe trovato un nuovo territorio d'espansione e Cesare il trampolino per il potere.
Di grande autorità godevano in Gallia i sacerdoti Druidi, i quali interpretavano il diritto ed erano i custodi della secolare saggezza dei Celti.
Le condizioni perché la Gallia fosse assimilata alla civiltà romana erano poste solidamente, ma il costo umano dell'impresa era a sua volta gravissimo: un milione di Galli aveva trovato la morte nella disperata lotta contro l'imperialismo romano, e un altro milione era caduto prigioniero, destinato alla schiavitù.
