In late spring of fifty-two BC, Julius Caesar—the man who had conquered four hundred Gallic tribes, who had never lost a major battle, who Romans believed was touched by the gods themselves—stood at the base of a hill fortress and watched his legions bleed. By sunset, seven hundred of Rome's finest soldiers lay dead on Gergovia's slopes, and forty-six centurions—the backbone of Roman military power—had been butchered trying to pull their men back from disaster.
Think about this for a second. Caesar had conquered Gaul in six years of relentless campaigning. He had crushed armies twice his size. He had built a bridge across the Rhine in ten days just to prove he could. And now a twenty-year-old Gallic chieftain named Vercingetorix had just handed him his first and only defeat.
I'm about to reveal three things that will change how you see Caesar forever. First, the tactical trap that turned Roman discipline into a death sentence. Second, why Caesar's own soldiers ignored his recall signal and charged to their doom. And third, the moment Caesar himself nearly died on that hill—a fact Roman historians tried to bury.
