Vercingetorix paraded and executed
46 BCE · Event
Six years a prisoner in the Tullianum, the Gallic leader is displayed in Caesar's quadruple triumph and then strangled, by custom, as the procession ends. Gaul stays Roman for five centuries; France, when it comes to need a founding hero, will choose the man who lost.
