Language is important in both individual and group identities. In understanding the Iron Age and Roman worlds and their developments, we must strive to incorporate an appreciation of the local languages and their communities. Unfortunately a key ancient language such as Gaulish is generally only studied by specialist linguists, and many classical scholars, for example, have little knowledge of it. We have written a text which is designed to reveal the complexity and importance of the Gaulish language to a wider audience.

*Includes pictures *Includes ancient accounts *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading In the minds of most people today, Gaul equates to modern France. However, the vast geographical area that Caesar named Gaul, in fact, was made up of a number of very distinct regions and covered, in addition to modern-day France, Belgium, Luxembourg, parts of the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Northern Italy. The Romans called the northern area of the Italian peninsula, which is now part of modern Italy, Cisalpine Gaul, or Gaul on this side of the Alps. Early Romans did not even consider this region as part of Italy and repeated incursions southwards, and the sacking of Rome itself in 390 BCE, resulted in Rome taking full control of the area in 221 BCE and thoroughly Romanizing it to the extent that even the Celtic language totally disappeared and was replaced by Latin. The region was initially a province but by the beginning of the 1st century BCE, it had become fully integrated into the Roman heartland and became an administrative region of Italy rather than a province. Ironically, the Roman Republic's development from a city state into a world power that controlled large swathes of modern Italy, Gaul and Spain, as well as other parts of Europe is seen by many as being the direct result of Roman fear of the "Celtic Threat." The sacking of Rome by the Gauls in 386 BCE became indelibly imprinted into the Roman psyche, and with this fear came a desire to put as much distance as possible between the city of Rome and any potential enemy. The result was the gradual acquisition of buffer zones that became provinces of an empire that grew without any particular thought out or deliberate strategy of expansion. The Gallic Wars, the series of campaigns waged by Caesar on behalf of the Roman Senate between 58-50 BCE, were among the defining conflicts of the Roman era. Not only was the expansion of the Republic's domains unprecedented (especially when considering it was undertaken under the auspices of a single general), it had a profound cultural impact on Rome itself as well. The Roman Republic, so dynamic in the wake of the destruction of their ancient enemy, Carthage, had recently suffered a series of dramatic upheavals; from the great slave rebellion of Spartacus to the brutal and bloody struggle for power of Marius and Sulla. Rome had been shaken to its very core, and a victory was essential both to replenish the dwindling national coffers and to instill in the people a sense of civic pride and a certainty in the supremacy of the Republic. Augustus and his successors then began a program of Romanization that, in a remarkably short period of time, transformed Gaul into four provinces. All of these locales added enormously to the Roman Empire in terms of manpower, material goods and wealth. Even today, historians are amazed at how such a large population that was not without its own systems of administration and vibrant culture and tradition could so easily succumb to Rome's pacification process, and to such an extent that, within short periods of time, the indigenous language and traditions of the Celtic peoples of Gaul were totally supplanted. The reasons why Rome was able to subjugate and then transform what was for that time an immense population of over 10 million people lie not only in its military superiority but its system of organization and its conscious program of Romanization. Roman Gaul: The History of Gaul as a Province of the Ancient Roman Empire looks at Caesar's famous conquest, and what Gaul was like for the next 5 centuries until the dissolution of history's most famous empire. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about Roman Gaul like never before.

In the first millennium b.c., two Ancient Celtic languages were spoken in what is today northern Italy and southern Switzerland, along the northern part of the river Po, and in the valleys around the big lakes on the southern slopes of the Alps. These languages, Lepontic and Gaulish, are grouped together as Cisalpine Celtic, i.e. ‘Celtic on this side of the Alps’, viewed from the perspective of the ancient Romans, in contrast to the Transalpine Gaulish language on the far side of the Alps in modern France. Known from over 400 inscriptions that span around 600 years, the two languages share the same writing system, borrowed from the Etruscans to the south. This volume of the AELAW series offers an introduction to what is known about the grammar and the lexicon of these languages, how to read the script and how to interpret the the various types of inscriptions (graffiti on pottery, tombstones, dedicatory formulae). This is accompanied by over forty new images and drawings of the inscribed objects. A census of the inscriptions known today and a concise bibliography round off the volume. The book contains 2 maps, 2 tables and 28 figures.

From the intro:"The country at the western extremity of Europe which is now named France was originally named in the language of its principal race, Gael-iachd, or the land of the Gaels, from which term the Greeks probably derived their Galatia and Kellika and the Romans their Gallia. It was defined by a remarkable series of natural boundaries-by two large oceans, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic by two lofty chains of mountains, the Alps and the Pyrenees and by the most beautiful river of Europe, the Rhine.Being in length and breadth nearly equal, about six hundred and fifty English miles in one direction, and five hundred and seventy in the other, it comprised an extent of territory larger by one fourth than that of modern France. Of the descriptive geography of this territory little was known to the ancients, whose random notices inform us that, for the most part, it was covered by forests and marshes. The sea-coasts north and west were the least inviting parts. In the peninsula which is now Brittany, the rough and frowning cliffs lent a gloomy grandeur to the scenery, but as these fell away at once into ranges of low sand-hills on one side, and into vast heaths and fens on the other, the aspect of the country became flat and monotonous. It was more picturesque on the Mediterranean shores, which were, however, exposed to fearful and desolating winds in the spring to the circus whose abrupt and choleric gusts shook down houses, and in the summer to the sultry auian laden with the miasms of Africa. But the beauties of the interior, described as presenting the happiest intermixture of high and low land, compensated for the defects that might be found elsewhere. The Alps on the east and the Pyrenees at the south, sending forth the great secondary spurs of Jura and the Yosges, of the Cevennes and the mountains of Auvergne, formed a series of magnificent valleys, through which many noble streams ran, with various beauty and in opposite courses, to the seas. The swift Ehone, gathered from the meltings of the Alps, and passing hurriedly through Lake Leman, shot southward to the Mediterranean; the Garonne, after breaking away from the unwooded slopes of the Pyrenees, was gradually swollen and propelled by the tributary waters of the Tarn, the Lot, and the Dordogne, till it broadened at last into a great arm of the Atlantic; farther inland, the Loire and the Seine turned their petulant currents to the same ocean; while the lordly Ehine, taking its departure from nearly the same mountain sources as the Ehone, reversed its direction, and roamed the wild borders of Germany in search of a wintry outlet to the northern gulfs."

In dealing with the life of ancient Gaul before the days of Caesar, there is very little real informaton on the subject. Therefore, all tribal customs presented in these stories may not have existed at exactly the same time or among tribes acquainted with one another. In no other country of Europe have so many distinct racial types been fused together through so many centuries into so distinctive a national character. To say the the French are a mixture of the Gauls, the Romans and the Franks is to tell but a fraction of the truth. For we know, Slav, Tartar and Semite, as well as the Norse and Hellenistic races, have contributed their share to the making of France.
