Bellum Gallicum

"Bellum Gallicum," or "The Gallic War," is a significant historical work written by Julius Caesar around 50 BCE. It recounts his military campaigns against various tribes in Gaul (modern-day France and Belgium) between 58 and 50 BCE. The text serves both as a military report and a political tool, showcasing Caesar's leadership and accomplishments while illustrating the social and cultural aspects of Gallic tribes. The work is notable for its concise Latin style and has influenced both historical writing and our understanding of Roman military strategy and imperialism.
