This script (with its introduction) presents de Bello Gallico as Julius Caesar’s firsthand—and highly influential—account of his nine-year campaign to conquer Gaul beginning in 58 BC. It highlights how Caesar’s writing blends military narrative, geography, and ethnography while also functioning as propaganda designed to shape public opinion in Rome. Through dramatized scenes of battles, Gallic leaders, and Roman politics, the script helps students visualize key events like Caesar’s conflicts with Vercingetorix and the unification of Gallic tribes.
