The defeat of Alesia, in 52 BC, marked the end of the well-known “Gallic War”, immortalized by its winner, Julius Caesar. Year zero of our French national history, Alesia became the founding act of an improbable Gallic unit, personalized in the guise of an impossible hero, Vercingetorix.

But this military sequence was in fact only an act of pacification of the Gallic provinces that had been largely Romanized for at least two centuries. Are the Gauls not just yet another Greco-Roman people?
