The Day Gaul Died

The Celtic tribes of Gaul are in revolt against the Roman occupation of Julius Caesar. A charismatic king of the Arverni tribe named Vercingetorix unites them for the first, and last, time in a war against the legions of Rome that ends in the battle of Alesia. Vercingetorix is taken to Rome in a cage and a million Celtic Gauls are killed or taken in chains as slaves. This is their story; told by Vercassivellaunus, kinsman and friend of Vercingetorix.
