Scene from the movie Vercingétorix (2001)

The Battle of Gergovia took place in 52 BC in Gaul at Gergovia, the chief town of the Arverni.

The battle was fought between a Roman Republic army, led by proconsul Julius Caesar, and Gallic forces led by Vercingetorix.

  • An awful scene fom a terrible movie.

    Quel immonde navet!

  • So many historical inaccuracy. From the costume to the portrait of the event. Gergovia was a failure attempt on the Roman to take Gergovia rather than a Gallic vitcory in the Roman campside.

  • Like they said in Asterix ... "Nobody knows Gergovia! There is no Gergovia!"

  • This is a wannabe Braveheart, and not a good one.

    Caesar was never defeated by a Gaulish army. He only had one army of 11 Legions and if he lost it he wasn't getting help from Rome. Vergingetorix could lose as many battles as he liked as long as their were still some adrenaline fuelled Gaulish warriors to follow him.

  • @khaikrul450 no, gaulics

  • What the fuck Am I watching???

  • @OriginalBlace Probably the hair, the moustache the cloak and the helmets are. But where are the large shields with their ornaments? Where are some of the naked warriors lol.

    It would be great if we can see them in action as the Gauls believe armor will only hinder the usage of their large swords where they have dexterity to swing it.

    That would be an awesome sight.

  • vikings....:O

  • @ConstantineJoseph

    Imagine Christopher Lambert fighting bare clad.

  • I'm looking for Obelix throwing menhirs at the Romans.

    Was he played by Gérard Monpardieu ?

    Abraracourcix was part of the battle.

    Where was he ?

    Ils sont fous ces Romains !

  • @AnarchicJ haha lol

  • Which one is Asterix?
