Gallic War
Sign in to saveAlso known as Gallic Wars
war (58–50 BCE) between the Roman Republic and Gaul
The Gallic War was a military conflict fought between 58 and 50 BCE in which the Roman Republic conquered the region of Gaul (modern-day France and surrounding areas). It matters because it resulted in Rome's expansion and control over a vast territory, and it was documented by the Roman commander Julius Caesar, whose accounts remain historically important sources.
