Caesar's Conquest refers to the military campaigns of Julius Caesar, a Roman general and statesman, in the late Roman Republic. His conquest of GAUL, which lasted from 58 BC to 51 BC, was one of his most famous campaigns. The term 'GAUL' refers to the region of Western Europe that is now France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and parts of Germany, Switzerland, and Italy.
