| | Gaul, Iberia, & Galatia |
 | | Some scholars believe Celtic evolved from proto-Indo-European around 1000 B.C. The iron-using Celtic Hallstatt culture gave rise to the La Tene Celts in the fifth century B.C. The people of Gaul spoke a P-Celtic language that was similar to the Celtic languages of Britain. |
 | | The Celtic tribes of Gaul included the Ligures, Saluvii, Volcae Arecomice, Volcae Tectosages, Tarbelli Ausci, Boii, Cadurci, Allobroges, and Helvii in the south, the Petrocorii, Santones, Pictones, Lemovices, Averni, Velavii, Segusiavii, Sequani, Mandubii, Bituriges Cubi, Carnutes, and Lingones in the middle, and the Veliocasses, Caletes, Ambiani, Atrebates, Morini, and Menapii in the north. |
 | | Vercingetorix was strangled in Rome six months later on the orders of Caesar in 51 B.C. The last of the resistance leaders was Commios, the Atrebatian. |
