Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ancient historian vividly reconstructs—and persuasively reassesses—the Roman Empire’s most significant victory of the Gallic Wars. In 52 B.C., Julius Caesar pulled off one of the great feats of Roman arms in what is now Burgundy, France. His heavily outnumbered army utterly defeated the combined forces of the Gallic tribes led by Vercingetorix and completed the Roman conquest of Gaul. The Alesia campaign, and the epic siege in which it culminated, was one of Caesar’s finest military achievements, and it has fascinated historians ever since. In Caesar’s Gallic Triumph, Peter Inker reconstructs the battle in graphic detail, combining ancient and modern sources and evidence derived from archaeological research. He questions common assumptions about the campaign, reassesses Caesar's own account of events, and looks again at aspects of the battle that have been debated or misunderstood. His gripping account gives new insight into Caesar the commander and into the Roman army he commanded.
