- Résumé : "Commentaries on the Gallic War" is a firsthand account by Julius Caesar, detailing his military campaigns in Gaul from 58 BC to 51 BC. The work is divided into eight books, each chronicling a specific year of the campaign. Book 1 describes Caesar's defeat of the Helvetii and the Suebi under Ariovistus. In Book 2, Caesar confronts and overcomes the Belgae, a coalition of tribes in northern Gaul. Book 3 shifts focus to a naval campaign against the Veneti, while Publius Crassus subdues the Aquitani. Book 4 highlights Caesar's engineering feat of constructing a bridge over the Rhine and his initial expedition to Britain. Book 5 continues with further developments in Britain. Book 6 sees Caesar returning to the Rhine and dealing with various Gallic tribes. The pivotal Book 7 narrates the Gallic revolt led by Vercingetorix, culminating in Caesar's decisive victory. The final Book 8, authored by Aulus Hirtius, wraps up the campaign with the subjugation of remaining resistant tribes. This work not only serves as a military chronicle but also as a political document, showcasing Caesar's transformation and strategic acumen, which played a crucial role in his rise to power in Rome.
- Biographie : Gaius Julius Caesar (Latin: ; 12 July 100 BC - 15 March 44 BC) was a Roman general and statesman. A member of the First Triumvirate, Caesar led the Roman armies in the Gallic Wars before defeating his political rival Pompey in a civil war, and subsequently became dictator from 49 BC until his assassination in 44 BC. He played a critical role in the events that led to the demise of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire.
