Event
A decisive victory by Julius Caesar against the confederation of tribes led by Vercingetorix, concluding the Gallic Wars and bringing Gaul under complete Roman occupation. The battle was made famous by Caesar's siege tactics, wherein, while Vercingetorix's forces within the city of Alesia waited for a relief army to attack the Roman force keeping them trapped, Caesar, instead of breaking the siege, built two sets of defenses at once, one to pin Vercingetorix within Alesia and another to repel his reinforcements. The Romans were able to defeat both forces from within the two sets of defensive barriers.
