The Gallic Wars were a series of campaigns and confrontations in which the people of the Gaul fought against the Romans, in an attempt to resist their assimilation into the Empire. The climax of the conflict was the Siege of Alesia (September, 52 BC), in which the army of Julius Caesar finally defeated a confederation of Gallic tribes united under the leadership of Vercingetorix of the Arverni.
This was a brutal campaign for the Roman army, who had to fight against a well-organized enemy that was highly motivated to defend their homeland. The Gallic warriors were particularly fierce and well-equipped.
Our miniature portrays one of these warriors, with the typical Celtic design helmet that would later be adapted by the Romans themselves.
