Caesar and Gaul

It is impossible to properly understand the exploration and colonization of North America without having some understanding of Roman history. The Conquest of Gaul (58-50 BC) by Julius Caesar (100-44 BC) during the mid-first century BC brought Roman occupation and influence to a land later to become France, one of North America’s major European founding nations. North American institutions, architecture, infrastructure, city planning, art, history, culture, manners, customs, traditions, political organizations, laws and language, owe a great deal to the Roman Empire.
