At the end of wars lasting about eight years, the Gallic tribes of present-day France and its surroundings came under Roman rule. Caesar recounted these campaigns in his famous work 'On the Gallic War.' The conquest of Gaul greatly increased Caesar's military and political power and enabled him to play a determining role in Rome's internal politics.
