๐ด ๐ฅ Rethinking the Gauls, the Forgotten Civilization
“The idea of the primitive Gauls, living in the forest until they were civilized and assimilated into the Roman Empire, is now regarded as totally obsolete. In this film, archaeologists and historians uncover Gaulish settlements to reveal the true face of the Gauls.”

If you visit Alรฉsia, the museum in Burgundy at the site of the last battle with Vercingetorix, youโll see Roman and Gaulish armor and weapons displayed side by side. You are hard pressed to see any material difference because them. 1/2

The Gauls and Romans were technologically equal. the Romans had organization and discipline. though the Roman soldiers were drawn from all over the Empire, they were all taught Latin and all drilled the same way. The Gauls were a federation of different cultures united only in their opposition to Roman conquest, owing allegiance to their chief over anything else and speaking individual dialects that verged on mutually incomprehensible.2/2
@bibliolater @histodon @histodons @archaeodons One thing I learned from Asterix was they travelled a lot, traded wide and far, had good relationships with neighbours and loved a roasted wild boar or two.
