Welcome to The Bellvm Gallicvm.

This is a thread concerning the Gallic Wars of Gailus Iulius Caesar and the commentaries he left on the battles. The main focus of this board is to deconstruct the commentaries of Caesar and figure out somthing that has not been said before. Some examples would be on:

Why were some tribes more insignificant to Caesar than others?, and

What does it mean to the reader participating in such a forum?

Good reading and enjoy.
