- Gallia scripta: Images of Gauls and Romans in Caesar's "Bellum Gallicum" (Julius Caesar, Roman Republic).
- The BG emphasizes Gallic valor, bravery, and moral worth to a degree that is little seen in the earlier written sources on the Gauls. The Roman victories are hard-won, and the Gauls often display admirable endurance in defeat. ... The Gauls are certainly depicted as savage, fickle, and threatening, but at the same time they are strikingly imbued with a virtus that at times rivals that of the Romans. A victory over the Gauls of the BG can only increase the virtus of their conqueror and the mores of his homeland.

- a visit to the amphitheatre of the trois gauls, among other things.
- I wandered down the hill and stopped and really spent some time thinking about the amphitheatre of the 3 Gauls. ...
- Today the amphitheatre of the 3 Gauls is a small ruin, hidden in the middle of town, perpetually closed to the public, surrounded by big iron gates and some fences with barbed wire, veritably unknown and uncared about in the shadow of the much larger (and newer) truly Roman amphitheatre that lives on the hill next to Fourviere. Inside the gates of the 3 Gauls, living in their own adopted refuge are dozens of cats -- all of them black -- roaming around skittishly, apparently not aware they are completely safe from cat marauders. ...

- Having now suffered two costly defeats, the Gauls deliberated about what they should do. ...
