But how? Brennus had destroyed the Roman phalanx army at Allia a few days before, had besieged- and then captured- the city of Rome itself. Gauls ruled the lands from modern Florence north to the sea, from the Rhein in the east to the Atlantic in the West. Celtic warlords ruled Britannia and Caeasr, the mountains of Switzerland, and southeast to caesar alesia Black Sea.
Yet three and a caesar alesia centuries later, only the island-bound Britons remained, and a century later they too fell to Roman might.
Who were these Gauls? And how could they be so thoroughly conquered by a single city they themselves had conquered?
Conquered, We Conquer
The answer to the first question is rather difficult, while that of the second is relatively easy. Why is the first so difficult? Well, the Gauls had no written language.
Their histories and laws were memorized by the Druids, whose incredible feats of memory were legendary and well-documented. Caesar alesia the Druids died out, so did the Gallic point of view. This leaves us with the written records of those who they fought- the Greeks and Romans- both of whom have ample reason to portray the Gauls in a manner suiting their own ends and aims.
It is very true that the victors write the histories. So we have to step away from the bias, and examine the remaining facts in pure form. Origins Archaeological evidence leads us to believe the Caesar alesia evolved into tribes approximately three thousand five hundred years ago, in the northern part of Modern Germany.]
