In these two centuries Michael Grant finds the climax of a "terrible but marvellous age". Michael Grant, one of… Read More

Illustrated with color photographs and maps. The Battle for Alesia was a decisive moment in world history. It determined whether Rome would finally conquer Gaul or whether Celtic chieftain Vercingetorix would throw off the yoke and consequently whether a number of independent Celtic tribal kingdoms could resist the might of Rome.
