In his time, Julius Caesar placed the character at the center of his propaganda work The Gallic War. However, for centuries, the vanquished of Alesia was hardly at the center of attention, quite the contrary. Indeed, the legendary character of the famous Arverne was born in the romantic heads of the 19th century. But romanticism is not history. Storiavoce invites you to return to a more prosaic reality: who was Vercingetorix, son of a king? In what society did he live? What were his relations with the Roman world and, in particular, with Julius Caesar, of whom he was once a hostage? How finally was the rebellion of the Gauls born?
