niall Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Ive started doing research on the gauls and Rome, esp around the time of vercingetorix. I was hoping people could point me in the right direction to get as much info as possible. Cheers Niall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klingan Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Well De bello gallico would be a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual ancient suspects should also be referred to... some examples: Appian's Gallic History (fragmented), Cassius Dio (books 38-40), and Strabo's Geography (book 4 in particular). For secondary (and/or modern) source material, Barry Cunliffe's The Ancient Celts is a quality starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
