Julius Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico

Julius Caesar's *Commentarii de Bello Gallico* is a first-person account written by Caesar describing his military campaigns in Gaul (modern France and surrounding areas) from 58 to 50 BCE. It's both a historical record and propaganda, detailing battles, strategies, and the tribes he encountered. The work offers insight into Roman military tactics, Caesar's leadership, and his efforts to justify his actions. While it's primarily a military report, it also reflects Roman politics and Caesar's ambitions, making it an important source for understanding Roman history and the expansion of Rome during that period.
