The majority of his legionaries, old and newly enlisted, were still Italians but a large percentage of them were Celtiberians, Gauls and Iberians. Caesar had already enlisted in the Po Valley and Narbonensis Gaul (modern Provence and Languedoc) men for the foundation of two new legions, the thirteenth and fourteenth (XIII and XIV). Labienus, Caesar’s lieutenant commander, informed him on their war preparations while the latter was in the Po Valley during the winter. The Belgae realized that Caesar would campaign against them and thus their leaders started to exchange hostages in order to further strengthen the bonds of their union. The Belgae tribes were united in a tribal confederation on the basis of their common origins and culture. The majority of them were fanatically anti-Roman and their leaders and nobles supposedly kept their morals intact without succumbing to the Roman bribe attempts. The Belgians were additionally strengthened due to their long wars against the Germans. Caesar in his ‘De Bello Gallico’ describes them as the most warlike and brave among the Gauls. However the Belgae included some Celtic proper and Germanic tribes and clans.Īfter their settlement in Gaul they had almost completely adopted La Tene culture (typical Celtic). The Belgae were a large conglomerate of Celtisized peoples mainly of the Northwestern pre-Celtic ethno-linguistic group (pre-Teutonic Germani) as it seems, whom the Germans had expelled from their cradle (in the east of the Rhine), thereby they settled in northeastern Gaul, mostly between the rivers Seine, Marne and the Rhine. Others understood that Caesar intended to turn their country into a Roman province. Many Gaulsfelt relieved by the destruction of the Suebi who had been threatening their homeland. In the next year, the Roman general turned against the threatening Belgae.
That year he overwhelmingly defeated the Germanic Suebi (Swebi) who also intended to conquer Gaul under their king Ariovistus. In 58 BC the campaign of Julius Caesar for the subjugation of Gaul was going on. The picture could very well represent legionaries ready for combat in the dense forest of Belgica, but the problem is that the depicted legionaries are of the Imperial era. And you can raise tyranny to deal with AE.Reenactment of Roman legionaries at English Heritage Festival in 2011 (photo by Lichfield Lore). Technology, good minister, also Rome has deity that speed up decreasing of AE. Only a few time surpass 50 AE, usually started wars with 20 AE. That was sufficient most of the time, but with 6 legions that way Seleucid make me suffer a lot before they surrender. Later with multiple legions, 25 HI, 15 LC, 5 E, 5 ST, withouth any particular reason. Meanwhile could have only one legion and manpower wasnt unlimited I went for HI, later add HC, also Engies and Supply train, and made Legion as big as i could. Until late game wars with Seleucid, my wars was like blitzkrieg, I go straith to the fortress, but sometimes is better stop siege if you can crush enemy army. Make you legions always training, that adds a lot of experience, and war traditions is a big big bonus. In technology first I go for invention that make you able to recruit legion, then those which speed up the march of you troop, then those that increase you technology efficiency.ĭont wait to missions, a lot of lands started to conquer before I started respectivie mission. I see you already get excelent response, hovewer from my experience could add:
