Alesia
52 BC — Vercingetorix’s united Gaul dies in a double siege. The Gallic War’s cost, by ancient count: a million dead, a million enslaved, of a nation of three or four million. Remember the price of the arrows.
This is one scene of Chapter 5 — Caesar in The Rise and Fall of Rome, 264 BC – AD 476.
