Caesar's Definition of Gaul

Before Caesar went to Gaul for the Romans, Gaul meant a couple of things. It meant stuff to the north of Italy but it actually meant stuff that we now think of as in Italy because there's an area called Kiss Alpine Gaul which means Gaul this side of the Alps. Northern Italy was originally a little bit outside to them and possibly even barbarian. So Gaul is northern Italy and then the other side of the Gaul really means to them a part of France that we now call Provence.
