Julius Caesar was among the greatest generals in history, who at the height of his conquest defeated present-day France, then known as Gaul, to further expand the Roman empire before turning home and defeating his political rivals and taking command of Rome.

Why the name "Caesar's Gaul"?

The name is a double meaning, both a reference to Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul from 58 - 50 BC, highlighted by one of the most original and creative seige tactics of all time in the Battle of Alesia, and a reference to Caesar's hubris to presume he could become Emperor of Rome and his subsequent downfall and death at the hands of the Senate after over-stretching his power.

I believe that it is essential that we both recognize great successes and learn from the most damaging mistakes.
