Gallic Wars

Caesar’s campaigns against Gallic communities, involving destruction, enslavement and Roman expansion.

This war had no continuous front. The line is a schematic limit of advance and operations: it summarises campaigns and is not a trench line or an administrative border. The coloured areas are operational sides, not evidence of contiguous occupation; in-between frames are interpolated and closing edges are graphic. The line summarises Caesar's campaigns year by year; subdued tribes rose again repeatedly and there was no contiguous occupation.
