This episode brought to you by The Classical Society - https://theclassicalsociety.com

Caesar ties all loose ends in his Gallic Campaign, in part 8, the final episode of our series on Caesar’s masterwork of psychology, strategy, and propaganda: On the Gallic War (De Bello Gallico). 
 
This is a world-history making story (the conquest of what’s now modern France), told by a world-history making storyteller. 

Caesar entered Gaul as a mere politician. He returned 9 years later as a conqueror - and an enemy of the state. He tells how it all happened with his own pen.

In this episode:

• Final skirmishes with the Bituriges and the Carnutes
• Siege of a hill-fort, and Caesar takes arms (literally)
• Conclusion of a bloody chapter, and some takeaways
