dec 26, 51 BC - The Gallic Wars End

Description:

Julius Caesar's Gallic Wars were some of the most important events in late Roman republic, and they shaped the course of western Europe for centuries to come. Caesar's victory over the Gauls was impressive, and it solidified his status as one of Rome's greatest generals.

The Gallic Wars were a series of military campaigns fought by the Roman republic between 58 BC and 51 BC. The wars were fought in an effort to expand the territory of the republic, as well as to subdue the rebellious Gauls who had been a strategic concern to Rome for centuries.

Caesar was tasked with leading the Roman legions against the Gauls, and he did so with great success. After eight years of fighting, Caesar emerged victorious and established Rome's dominance over Gaul.

(Gaul, comprising modern-day France and parts of Belgium, western Germany, and northern Italy.)
