BAF Lecture at the Bender JCC: Caesar's Conquest of Gaul (offsite)
Wednesday, May 21st 8:00p
Caesar’s Conquest of Gaul | Jennifer Paxton – The Catholic University of America. The famous formulation that all Gaul was divided into three parts came from the self-serving pen of Caesar himself, whose conquest of Gaul served as the springboard for a quest for power that ended fatally on the Ides of March in 44 B.C.E. Rome gradually acquired commercial and military interests in southern Gaul that provided the pretext for Roman intervention in the complicated politics of the region. Caesar then exploited internal divisions within Gaul to bring about the largest single acquisition of territory for Rome north of the Alps, a project that he conducted largely on his own initiative with only the grudging approval of the Roman Senate. This event will be held in the Social Hall of the Bender JCC: 6125 Montrose Road / Rockville, MD 20852 (Admission: $10 cash or check at the door).
