Gauls

The Gauls were a collection of Celtic tribes that lived in what is now France, Belgium, Switzerland, and parts of Italy and the Netherlands during antiquity. Known for their warrior culture, they resisted Roman expansion until their conquest by Julius Caesar in the first century BCE. The Gauls had a rich culture, with a unique language, art, and social structure. They are famously depicted in historical accounts for their battles against Rome and play a significant role in European history as the precursors to modern French identity. Their legacy includes contributions to language, culture, and governance.
