Historical reference
Vercingetorix (/ˌvɜːrsɪnˈdʒɛtərɪks, -ˈɡɛt-/ VUR-sin-JET-ər-is, -GET-, Latin: c. 82 BC – 46 BC) was a king and chieftain of the Arverni tribe who united the Gauls in a revolt against Roman forces during the last phase of Julius Caesar's Gallic Wars. Vercingetorix was the son of Celtillus the Arvernian, leader of the Gallic tribes. Vercingetorix came to power after his formal designation as chieftain of the Arverni at the oppidum Gergovia in 52 BC. He immediately established an alliance with other Gallic tribes, took command and combined all forces, and led them in the Celts' most significant revolt against Roman power. He won the Battle of Gergovia against Julius Caesar in which several thousand Romans and their allies died and Caesar's Roman legions withdrew. However, Caesar had been able to exploit the Gaulish internal division to easily subjugate the country, and Vercingetorix's attempt to unite the Gauls against the Roman invasion came too late. At the Battle of Alesia, the Romans besieged and defeated his forces. In order to save as many of his men as possible, he gave himself to the Romans. He was held prisoner for five years. In 46 BC, as part of Caesar's triumph, Vercingetorix was paraded through the streets of Rome and then executed by strangulation. Vercingetorix is primarily known through Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War. To this day, he is considered a folk hero in Auvergne, his native region.
