(Commentarii de Bello Gallico (English: Commentaries on th...)
Commentarii de Bello Gallico (English: Commentaries on the Gallic War), also simply Bellum Gallicum (English: Gallic War), is Julius Caesar's firsthand account of the Gallic Wars, written as a third-person narrative. In it Caesar describes the battles and intrigues that took place in the nine years he spent fighting local armies in Gaul that opposed Roman domination. The "Gaul" that Caesar refers to is sometimes all of Gaul except for the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis (modern-day Provence), encompassing the rest of modern France, Belgium and some of Switzerland. On other occasions, he refers only to that territory inhabited by the Celtic peoples known to the Romans as Gauls, from the English Channel to Lugdunum (Lyon). The work has been a mainstay in Latin instruction because of its simple, direct prose. It begins with the frequently quoted phrase "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres", meaning "All of Gaul is divided into three parts". The full work is split into eight sections, Book 1 to Book 8, each varying in size from approximately 5,000 to 15,000 words. Book 8 was written by Aulus Hirtius, after Caesar's death. The Latin title, literally Commentaries on the Gallic War, is often retained in English translations of the book, and the title is also translated to About the Gallic War, Of the Gallic War, On the Gallic War, The Conquest of Gaul, and The Gallic War. The victories in Gaul won by Caesar had increased the alarm and hostility of his enemies at Rome, and his aristocratic enemies, the boni, were spreading rumors about his intentions once he returned from Gaul. The boni intended to prosecute Caesar for abuse of his authority upon his return, when he would lay down his imperium. Such prosecution would not only see Caesar stripped of his wealth and citizenship, but also negate all of the laws he enacted during his term as Consul and his dispositions as pro-consul of Gaul. To defend himself against these threats, Caesar knew he needed the support of the plebeians, particularly the Tribunes of the Plebs, on whom he chiefly relied for help in carrying out his agenda. The Commentaries were an effort by Caesar to directly communicate with the plebeians - thereby circumventing the usual channels of communication that passed through the Senate - to propagandize his activities as efforts to increase the glory and influence of Rome. By winning the support of the people, Caesar sought to make himself unassailable from the boni. . It is often lauded for its polished, clear Latin. This book is traditionally the first authentic text assigned to students of Latin, as Xenophon's Anabasis is for students of Ancient Greek; they are both autobiographical tales of military adventure told in the third person, though a translation in 1985 by Peter and Anne Wiseman has Caesar speaking in the first person, which makes for a clearer read. The style is simple and elegant, essential and not rhetorical. It contains many details and employs many stylistic devices to promote Caesar's political interests. Also, the books are valuable for the many geographical and historical claims that can be retrieved from the work. Notable chapters describe Gaulish custom (VI, 13), their religion (VI, 17), a comparison between Gauls and Germanic peoples (VI, 24) and other curious notes such as the lack of Germanic interest in agriculture (VI, 22).

Julius Caesar (13 July 100 BC 15 March 44 BC) was a Roman general and statesman. He played a critical role in the gradual transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. Julius Caesar's firsthand account of his Conquest of Gual and the Civil War are, written as a third-person narrative. In it Caesar describes the battles and intrigues that took place in the nine years he spent fighting local armies in Gaul that opposed Roman domination. The "Gaul" that Caesar refers to encompassing modern France, Belgium and some of Switzerland. On other occasions, he refers only to that territory inhabited by the Celtic peoples known to the Romans as Gauls, from the English Channel to Lugdunum (Lyon). In Caesars Commentaries on the Civil War Caesar writes about his war with the fellow Roman general and statesmen Pompey the Great and the Senate. Shorter than its counterpart on the Gallic War, it covers the events of 49-48 BC, from shortly before Caesar's invasion of Italy to Pompey's defeat at the Battle of Pharsalus and flight to Egypt with Caesar in pursuit. It closes with Pompey assassinated, Caesar attempting to mediate rival claims to the Egyptian throne, and the beginning of the Alexandrian War where Caesar first meets Queen Cleopatra.

(Au 1er siècle avant notre ère, Rome domine tout le bassin...)
Au 1er siècle avant notre ère, Rome domine tout le bassin méditerranéen mais la république ne souffre pas moins d'une grave crise politique interne. Des généraux ambitieux, au premier rang desquels Jules César, voudraient s'emparer du pouvoir et mettre de l'ordre dans les institutions. En 58 avant JC, le Sénat, qui détient l'autorité suprême, tente d'éloigner Jules César en lui enjoignant de conquérir les territoires celtes compris entre les Pyrénées et le Rhin (les Gaules). Au terme de 8 longues années de guerre, après la victoire d'Alésia, le général, fort de son triomphe, va s'emparer du pouvoir à Rome même. Jules César, désireux de cultiver sa popularité auprès des Romains, a magnifié ses opérations militaires dans le plus bel écrit de propagande qui soit : "Commentaires sur la guerre des Gaules". Lessentiel des connaissances historiques sur cette guerre, et donc des lointaines origines de la France proviennent des écrits de César lui-même quil rassemble dans ce chef-duvre de littérature et de stratégie conquérante : "De Bello Gallico". Cette histoire d'un conflit prolongé est un livre de combat, publié tout au long de cette guerre, en même temps que le témoignage le plus ancien et le plus important sur les origines de la France, Belgique, Suisse, Allemagne rhénane et Grande-Bretagne. C'est bien un grand peuple celtique en pleine évolution que César a gagné à la civilisation latine. Militairement parlant, César a fait une véritable entreprise, décrite dans ses Commentaires sur la Guerre des Gaules, une uvre où sont concentrées les compétences et capacités militaires et narratives du général romain. Il y décrit les événements, les faits, les batailles, les campagnes, et bien sûr, cela du point de vue romain. Nous ne savons que peu de chose de ce qu'a été pour les populations celtes cette guerre qui, en fin de compte, met fin à leur liberté. Jules César fait déporter un million de Gaulois dans toute l'Italie, et paradoxalement, la conquête de la Gaule permet d'ouvrir une route vers l'Italie centrale et du Sud, où, au moment de son apogée, prend le chemin franchi par les Étrusques et les Latins. Selon Pline lAncien, au cours des dix années que dure la campagne, la Gaule a perdu plus d'un million d'habitants. Pour l'histoire, cette conquête reste une guerre terrible, durant laquelle deux peuples luttent pendant plus d'une décennie, faisant preuve de cruauté de part et d'autre. La conquête de la Gaule, par le biais des Romains, relie enfin définitivement la Méditerranée et l'Europe continentale : ni le vainqueur Jules César, ni le vaincu Vercingétorix, ne sont témoins des conséquences de leurs actions. Ils seront tous deux tués à Rome au nom de la République, quelques années après la fin de la guerre. À Rome, comme en Gaule, cette conquête des Gaules par César ouvre une nouvelle ère. Elle constitue un évènement majeur : - Dans lhistoire de la Rome antique, parce que cette conquête a marqué la fin définitive de la menace - alors toujours vivante dans la mémoire collective des Romains - que les barbares Gaulois représentaient pour Rome depuis le sac de la ville par Brennus en 390 av. J.-C.. - Dans lhistoire de lEurope, parce que les provinces gallo-romaines seront les plus peuplées de lEmpire romain et la plaque tournante du commerce européen.

He was with Julius Caesar as legate in Gaul, but after the civil war broke out in 49 he seems to have remained in Rome to protect Caesar's interests.
The consuls set out for Mutina, where Antonius was besieging Decimus Brutus.
On the 15th of April, Pansa was attacked by Antonius at Forum Gallorum, about 8 m. from Mutina, and lost his life in the engagement.
For the history of the period see under Antonius; Cicero's Letters (ed.
