Help on Gaul History

Recommended Posts

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

Well De bello gallico would be a good start.

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.
