I was hoping people could point me in the right direction to get as much info as possible.Cheers Niall Caesar's "The Gallic War" is the best place to start for primary source material on the era of Vercingetorix in particular. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
