The majority of his legionaries, old and newly enlisted, were still Italians but a large percentage of them were Celtiberians, Gauls and Iberians. Caesar had already enlisted in the Po Valley and Narbonensis Gaul (modern Provence and Languedoc) men for the foundation of two new legions, the thirteenth and fourteenth (XIII and XIV). Labienus, Caesar’s lieutenant commander, informed him on their war preparations while the latter was in the Po Valley during the winter. The Belgae realized that Caesar would campaign against them and thus their leaders started to exchange hostages in order to further strengthen the bonds of their union. The Belgae tribes were united in a tribal confederation on the basis of their common origins and culture. The majority of them were fanatically anti-Roman and their leaders and nobles supposedly kept their morals intact without succumbing to the Roman bribe attempts. The Belgians were additionally strengthened due to their long wars against the Germans. Caesar in his ‘De Bello Gallico’ describes them as the most warlike and brave among the Gauls. However the Belgae included some Celtic proper and Germanic tribes and clans.Īfter their settlement in Gaul they had almost completely adopted La Tene culture (typical Celtic). The Belgae were a large conglomerate of Celtisized peoples mainly of the Northwestern pre-Celtic ethno-linguistic group (pre-Teutonic Germani) as it seems, whom the Germans had expelled from their cradle (in the east of the Rhine), thereby they settled in northeastern Gaul, mostly between the rivers Seine, Marne and the Rhine. Others understood that Caesar intended to turn their country into a Roman province. Many Gaulsfelt relieved by the destruction of the Suebi who had been threatening their homeland. In the next year, the Roman general turned against the threatening Belgae. That year he overwhelmingly defeated the Germanic Suebi (Swebi) who also intended to conquer Gaul under their king Ariovistus. In 58 BC the campaign of Julius Caesar for the subjugation of Gaul was going on. The picture could very well represent legionaries ready for combat in the dense forest of Belgica, but the problem is that the depicted legionaries are of the Imperial era. *Matches available to all SPURSPLAY subscribers outside of the territories in which they are played.Reenactment of Roman legionaries at English Heritage Festival in 2011 (photo by Lichfield Lore).
