Julius Caesar's "Commentarii de Bello Gallico" (Commentaries on the Gallic War) is a firsthand account of Caesar's military campaigns in Gaul (modern-day France) from 58 to 50 BC. Written in a clear and concise style, it details Caesar's military strategies, his interactions with various Gallic tribes, and the political landscape of the Roman Republic.

The work is valued for its historical accuracy, its insights into Roman military tactics, and its portrayal of Caesar's leadership.

It is also a significant source for understanding the culture and society of Gaul in the 1st century BC. Its enduring appeal lies in its combination of historical detail and compelling narrative.
