줄리어스 시저에 의해 갈리아 전쟁 (라틴어 / 영어)

This is the parallel English / Latin text of 'Gallic War', with the English translation by H. J. Edwards. Each Latin word is cross-linked to a dictionary definition.

The book details the war campaigns by the Roman proconsul Julius Caesar against several Gallic tribes. Rome's battles against the Gallic tribes ranged from 58 BC to 50 BC and resulted in the decisive victory at the Battle of Alesia, which allowed for the Roman expansion of the Republic over the whole of Gaul (present-day France and parts of Belgium). While militarily just as strong as the Romans, internal divisions between the Gallic tribes permitted the victory of Caesar, and the attempt to unite the Gauls against Roman invasion came too late. The wars allowed Julius Caesar to become the sole ruler of the Roman Republic.
