They used Greek symbols to write in their own language. These were found among Celts as far as Ireland. But we're mostly employed by Druids. Some Gauls, especially in Cisalpine Gaul, used Etruscan script. Which evolved into the Rune (which ended up as far as Scandanavia)

Nice touch using 2 maps, a main one and a smaller one. The fact that Caesar didn't use his newly formed legions shows how capable were the other 4. I know that those 4 fought under him on previews campaignes but still is impressive.

what a great day today i bought caesar in gaul dlc for rome 2 and now kings and generals made a video about gallic wars

So Helvetiis are distant ancestors of modern Swiss? I am just amazed by the size of troops(60000 to 80000 warriors) they could raise from a tribe with a total population of 368000, which resonates my comment back in the Han-Xiongnu war when Xiongnu(believed to have a population around 3 to 5 million) managed to raise 400,000 troops in the siege of Baideng while Han was dwarfed with 320,000 troops even though Han's population was larger, around 13 million at that time. Tribal federations did have an advantage of levy ratio. But it's even more shocking how disciplined Caesar's army was. The Roman legions were outnumbered by a ratio between 1:2 and 1:3 even if you only consider the combatants, but they almost annihilated 2/3 of the entire tribal population during the campaign. They were really tough foes and shown us the strength of quality. Btw, maybe you can consider doing a special episode regarding the evolution, and utilization of wagons or chariots in ancient wars? Many civilizations including the Boiis in this war, ancient Chinese in Han-Xiongnu war, and Hussites were active users of this powerful weapon. Not to mention ancient Egyptians and Hittites were probably among the earliest masters of these weapons, possibly due to early adoptions of bronze and iron.

@GODOBER

Tribal society does mean more levies, but it also means lower quality and less specialists in every field which means bad equipment. Romans had incredibly superior armor compared to most Gauls. Technology-wise, it was almost like the British fighting the Zulu. Not to mention that tribal society limits the mining potential, which means that there is simply not enough available resources to make enough quality equipment.

I love this… I recreate many of the ancient wars in my mind to help with my studies. I will have to look for Hannibal’s trip to Italy with his elephants. As far as Caesar cross the Rubicon, he was never to cross the Rubicon per the Roman Senate. The Rubicon was like the dividing line between Italy and the rest of the Empire. He was a powerful general with a full support of the legionaries. He was forbid basically to cross the rubicon. It was treason, The dye has been cast, means it is what it is. Can’t change it. It was basically set in stone( or steel).

Been waiting so long for this, and I am not going to lie, this was very good! Good job and keep it up!

Not to dismiss your point, the conquest of Gaul was a blood soaked massacre, but calculating absolute casualties from that period is next to impossible. We can only estimate the population and the percentage lost. Most of the numbers provided come from Caesar himself, or other people with either a vested interest in exaggerating the numbers of the Gauls, or no way of knowing for sure. It is very likely even the Gaul kings themselves had only a relatively shaky idea of how many people actually made up their people. All we know is that a horrendous amount of people either died or were enslaved. Those who did survive were not in a position to enjoy the benefits of the Roman Empire. I'm also not sure if I would use the term genocide, since I think the term implies an intent to exterminate, whereas for Caesar the deaths were not the goal, just the means to acquiring swathes of land, fortunes in wealth, and political power.

In Gaul there were territories which were barely harmed in any way and only a few years after the wars many regions of Gaul flourished again. Others like the Eburones were almost completely destroyed. So it really depends. The wars in general had nothing to do with genocide, but some chapters might be considered to be comparable to the modern definition of genocide.

This event is enough to make people understand how much the Romans were clearly superior to the populations of Central and Northern Europe...

Whenever doing any calculation I always make a point to correct for Caesers inflations in the digits involved

Another great vid, Roma Victor! Congrats from Gaul, not so far from Bibracte, where my ancestors had to fight...

Thank you very much!

Glad i got me some Caesar T-shirt. "Ave Caesar!" Edit Fun fact: Caesar is pronounced like the german word for Emperor "Kaiser", not saying you should fix this, but I'm just telling those who are unaware of this between Classical Latin and French. Edit 2 : it has come to my attention Latin is indeed a dead language, so still it's okay how you pronouns it.

That's how you would pronounce it in Latin, but really in English you can use either. Most people know him as Ceaser with an S-C so really it's not a big problem.

The Romans became that hyper-militarized and schizophrenically fearful of Gauls, after the Gallic Sack of Rome. Which happened around 400BC...not long after it became a republic. The biggest irony is, that it was the Averni (and another tribe), that handed Rome that shameful and humiliating defeat. The Gauls won so easily against the Romans, they thought it was a trick or a trap, or a faigned retreat🤣. And chose to stay alert and not celebrate. It made Rome into the military machine it became. And its why Rome kept fighting pre-emptive wars "as a means of defense". The Romans were so terrified of Gauls, on 3 occasions they performed human sacrifice by burrying pairs of people alive when there were Gauls roaming near Rome. This bizarre act wasn't a Roman custom at all. Anyway, what makes the invasion of Gaul ironic, is that it was the Averni and their leader Vercingetorix that lead the Gallic resistance against Caesar, more than 300 years later. The exact same Gallic tribe that set Rome on a gung-ho military path when Rome was easily defeated and the city sacked. It's also when Rome started building their overkill walls.

Caesar was a master of the classic Roman divide and conquer strategy. After he gained his first foothold in Gaul north of the Mediterranean, Caesar would not stop until he had subdued the entire country. The memory of the sack of Rome by Brennus in 390 BCE loomed large in the Roman psyche.

I hope you'll do a series on the Seville Wars, especially the one with Spartacus (Loved the TV Series btw)

Not really, the romans were not going around mindlessly slaughtering people contrary to some people´s believes. The modern day french are in fact still partially carrying the gaulic genome. Hell there are even theories that some of the features separating latin and french are derived from the local gaulic languages.

Western civilization, technology and its people taken by rome. They like to claim allot of celtic inventions this is well known.

There are many goals in life, ending world hunger, world peace and wondering what song was used in the intro. I fear all three will never come to pass.

how often will this series on the gallic wars upload? I wanna have a calendar so I can read the commentaries along with it. Superb work, commilitones.

You have out done yourselves again gentlemen, well played.
