	Gallic Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Map of Gaul circa 58 BC The Gallic Wars were a series of wars fought between the Romans and the people of Gaul during the mid-first century BC, culminating in the Battle of Alesia in 52 BC which resulted in the expansion of the Roman Republic across Gaul.
		The Gallic Wars can be divided roughly into three phases, characterised by repeated Roman interventions in intra-Gallic conflicts (58 BC-57 BC); punitive expeditions against anti-Roman forces (56 BC-55 BC); and consolidation (54 BC-51 BC), when the Romans fought repeated Gallic uprisings and rebellions.
		Gallic warriors were ferocious opponents and were much admired for this by the Romans (see the Dying Gaul), but they lacked discipline in the field.

	Gallia - Province of the Roman Empire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		The next two centuries were marked by occasional revolts, by increasingly frequent invasions of Germanic tribes, against whom a line of limes, or fortifications, was erected from the middle Rhine to the upper Danube, and by the introduction of Christianity early in the 2nd century.
		They had been the most powerful Gallic tribe in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC under their king, Luernios, but when his son, Bituitos was defeated by the Romans in 123BC and the Roman 'Provincia' established, their ascendancy passed to the Aedui and Sequani.
		This tribe occupied lands between the Vascones to the east and the Cantabrii to the west, and probably had a constant balancing act to perform between these 2 powerful groups.

		The Germanic tribes are expanding rapidly and overrunning the edges of the lands, and the Romans, still angered by the sack of Rome, wish to exact revenge upon all Gauls, regardless of their loyalties.
		It was Gallic influence that introduced many elements into the Roman military, and their proliferation as mercenaries led to their usage in almost every major conflict (whether as Gauls or as Galatians) during the period simulated here.
		Many Gallic tribe names are similar or essentially identical to the Latin versions of them, as the Gallic language had heavily affected Latin (and likely vice versa) due to their long period of varying coexistence and warfare in the Italic peninsula.

		Thus Paris, the old Gallic name of which was Lutecia, is derived from the tribal name, Parisii; Bourges is derived from Biturgies, but its old name was Avaricum; Amiens, the old name of which was Samarobriva, is derived from Ambiani.
		They were evidently dependent tribes, and nothing is known about their geographical position except that they lived somewhere in the basin of the Thames, probably west of Essex, which belonged to the Trinovantes.
		Thirdly, some of the Gallic strongholds - for instance, Avaricum and Lutecia - were not built upon hills, and we may gather both from Caesar's narrative (3, §1, 11, §§4 - 9) and from Strabo (iv, 2, §3) that Cenabum was rather a trading town than a stronghold.

		In the course of centuries, gallic tribes, related to those that invaded Italy and sacked Rome, wandered east through Illyricum and Pannonia.
		That these people were Gauls (and not Germans as has sometimes been suggested) is proved by the testimony of Greek and Latin writers, by their retention of the Gallic language till the fifth century, and by their personal and place names.
		The Gauls were a dominant class, living in castles, and leading a half pastoral, half nomadic life, and speaking their own Gallic language.
