A politician, war leader and chief of the Arverni, at the Battle of Gergovia Vercingetorix led a decisive victory against the feared ranks of the Roman legions, forcing Caesar to retreat from the field. Shrewd and cunning, he formed alliances with various Gallic tribes.

The turning point at Alesia was a master class in Roman military tactics and engineering. It was written that even Vercingetorix's defeat was as magnificent as his few victories, riding his warhorse and shedding his panoply before his conqueror. He died of strangulation in the underground prison in Rome!
