Battle of Alesia

The Siege of Alesia is another name for the Battle of Alesia. It is regarded as one of Caesar's most noteworthy military accomplishments. Julius Caesar commanded the Romans while Vercingetorix of the Arverni led the Gallic tribes in the conflict, which was fought between the Romans and the Gallic tribes. Gauls had constructed a mountaintop castle that Caesar couldn't storm as a kind of self-defense. The fortification, however, was unable to deter Caesar from assaulting the Gauls.

Caesar's next strategy was to encircle and starve the adversaries. The Gauls struggled to escape as they started attacking them. By using this tactic, over 250 000 Gauls were killed and 40.000 were captured. Roman forces also conquered the region, and the triumph was commemorated by 20 days of thanksgiving.
