ln the Iate summer of 52 BC, Julius Caesar, Rome's most briIIiant general was pitted against the great GaIIic chieftain Vercingetorix. Fifty thousand Roman soIdiers came face-to-face against a quarter of a miIIion GalIic warriors: the Gauls. For the first time, at a smaII hiIItop caIIed Alesia in what is now centraI France, aII Caesar's enemies were gathered in one place. And Caesar won. Yet for 2,000 years there's been only one explanation for his victory--his own. Does evidence from the battIefield correspond with this account? The battle that day shaped the map of modern Europe. How did Caesar do it? Recent archaeologicaI discoveries, systematic anaIysis of Roman warfare, and extraordinary photographic evidence reveaI the secrets of Caesar's success. |
