The Romans, Gauls, Chinese, Egyptians, Greeks and Persians all cherished the egg as a symbol of the universe. |
Plutarch, on the basis of Caesar's figures, reports that a million Gauls were killed and another million enslaved. |
The Gauls as so represented were mesocephalic, mesoprosopic, and on the upper borders of leptorrhiny. |
It was a combination of towers, palisades, ditches, abatis, and caltrops to slow the attacking Gauls. |
As these local ties grew stronger, the provincial troops came to think of themselves as Gauls or Britons as much as Romans. |
The Roman Army had been fighting in Gaul and the Britons had been helping the Gauls in an effort to defeat the Romans. |
