Description from the seller
Son of the noble Celtillo, he was king of the Arverni, an influential Gallic people settled in what is now the Auvergne region. In his plan to repel the Roman invasion, he managed to unite most of the Gallic tribes and their leaders. He was one of the first chiefs able to federate a significant part of the Gallic peoples, overcoming traditional historical divisions. Facing one of the greatest strategists of all time, he showcased his excellent military talents. In 52 BC, he was defeated at the siege of Alesia by Gaius Julius Caesar. Surrendering himself, he was imprisoned in Rome for five years. In 46 BC, he was dragged in chains to adorn Caesar's triumph celebration. Immediately afterward, he was sentenced to death in the Mamertine prison.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, his figure, similar to that of Ambiorige in Belgium, experienced a rediscovery in France from a nationalist perspective. Under Napoleon III, his role as a representative of Gallo-Roman civilization was widely emphasized. Later, in the revanchist climate of Franco-German rivalry, he embodied the mythical figure of a national hero for a significant part of 19th-century French historiography. From 1870 to 1950, history education for generations of students portrayed him as the first leader of the French.
