During the latter stages of the Gallic Wars of Julius Caesar, Vercingetorix, a Gallic monarch and ruler of the Arverni tribe, rallied the Gauls in an abortive uprising against Roman forces. He was put to death at Rome after giving himself over to Caesar and being imprisoned for over six years. The chief of the Gallic tribes, Celtillus the Arvernian, was the father of Vercingetorix. Following his official identification as chieftain of the Arverni at the oppidum Gergovia in 52 BC, Vercingetorix rose to prominence. Vercingetorix, a Gaulish name, literally means the Great or Supreme Leader of Warriors or Heroes. As soon as possible, he formed a coalition with other Gallic tribes, assumed leadership, rallied all the forces, and guided the Celts in their greatest uprising against Roman rule. In the Battle of Gergovia, he defeated Julius Caesar, resulting in the deaths of many thousand Romans and their allies and the withdrawal of the Roman troops. Attempt of Vercingetorix to bring the Gauls together against the Roman invasion was too little, too late, as Caesar had taken advantage of the internal differences within the Gauls to easily subdue the nation. His armies were besieged and routed by the Romans at the Battle of Alesia, which took place in 52 BC. He surrendered to the Romans in an attempt to save as many of his soldiers as possible. He spent five years in prison. Vercingetorix was eventually executed by garroting after being paraded through the streets of Rome in 46 BC as a part of the victory of Caesar. Most of the information of Vercingetorix does come from Commentarii de Bello Gallico written by Julius Caesar. He is still revered as a folk hero in France, particularly in his home province of Auvergne. #History
