Clemency and Brutality: The Final Acts of the Gallic Wars

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
