Becoming Roman: The Origins of Provincial Civilization in Gaul
Greg Woolf

Cambridge University Press, 2000

This book studies the processes conventionally termed "Romanization" through an analysis of the experience of Roman rule over the Gallic province of the empire in the period 200 BC-AD 300. It examines how and why Gallo-Roman civilization emerged from the confrontation between the iron-age cultures of Gaul and the civilization we call classical. It develops an original synthesis and argument that will form a bridge between the disciplines of ...

Mediocre knock off
I looked a few pages of this book and is astonished to find how many mistakes and imprecisions I find. For instance : - Oberjunker Protopopoff is depicted as a former white russian. I hardly understand hwo he managed to fight the soviets in the early 20's as he died in 1945 at nearly 23. - There's a picture of a man with glasses and a machine gun. The author says it has to be Henri Fenet. ...

Broadview Press, 2000

What Dark Age?
I'm a big fan of compilations of primary source material and this is one of the best. Alexander Callander Murray has put together an outstanding collection of sources, translated into English, describing events from the 3rd through the 8th centuries. These sources are wide-ranging in style and scope, including works from Roman historians such as Ammianus Marcellinus and Orosius, Antique and Early ...

The Conquest of Gaul (Penguin Classics)

Julius Caesar

Penguin Classics, 1983

De Bello Gallico
This was the first translation of the Gallic War I read, and it is still my favorite. The index with all the tribes, forts, etc. is particularly useful (a lot of translations don't have one, and to my knowledge none have as comprehensive of one).

El mejor libro sobre caballeria.
Ya muy bien lo dijo el ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha : "-Quiero, Sancho, que sepas que el famoso Amadis de Gaula fue uno de los mas perfectos caballeros andantes. No he dicho bien fue uno: fue el solo, el primero, el unico, el seqor de todos cuantos hubo en su tiempo en el mundo." Basta con escuchar estas palabras de boca del gran caballero de la Mancha (o de la pluma de ...

Gauls Getafix
Asterix lives in the Gaulish part of the Roman Empire. Doesn't he? Not quite, his village resists the Romans thanks to a magic potion. The Romans want some of this potion for themselves... "Asterix the Gaul" was the first Asterix comic, published in 1961. Rene Goscinny made the words and Albert Udzero did the pictures. It's a pretty good way to start the series though the sequel "Asterix and ...

JULIUS CAESAR; THE BATTLE FOR GAUL.

2 reviews
Julius Caesar

BCA, 1980

A must for anyone in the military
When I was in the military, they stressed that to understand the craft of war; one should read the classics on war. However, no one told me that it would be fun. I stayed away from Caesar because I thought it would be stuffy. Well I was wrong. This book is a geography lesson and a history lesson. It is even a "how to". Nevertheless, it turns out that being a first person made it come alive. ...

Very nice, I will buy Volumn 2.
Very well researched. The detailed descriptions, at the start of the book, for the units that played a part in this portion of battle were excellent and invaluable. I gained a much greater appreciation for the true qualties of the units that fought with this book than from any other reading or sources. The following individual soldier's stories that fill the greater part of this book were ...

Fifth-Century Gaul: A Crisis of Identity?

2 reviews

Cambridge University Press, 2002

Covers every facet of Gallic 5th Century
The book is a compilation of 30 essays on various aspects of Gallic history in the 5th century. The purpose of this compilation is to find out whether 5th Century Gauls felt that they belonged to the Roman Empire, and to what extent ("Crisis of Identity"). In some case, the question is more a rhetorical pretext for an impressive display of scholarship. The sources are abundantly commented : ...
