Vercingetorix unites Gaul
52 BCE · Event
A young Arvernian noble does what eight years of Roman provocation could not: unites the tribes in a single revolt, scorches the earth before Caesar's foragers, and hands Rome a rare defeat at Gergovia. For one season the conquest hangs in the balance — until he lets himself be penned into Alesia.
