Scenarios about 'gaul'

The ancient region of Western Europe primarily inhabited by Celtic peoples before Roman conquest, roughly corresponding to modern France, Belgium, western Switzerland, and parts of Northern Italy. Gaul played a pivotal role in the expansion of the Roman Republic and Empire, with Julius Caesar's conquest (58-50 BCE) representing a crucial turning point in Mediterranean geopolitics. In alternate history scenarios, an unconquered or differently developed Gaul often serves as a foundation for exploring Celtic cultural persistence and alternative paths of European civilization.
