5.0

A somewhat odd book that retraces Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul and landings in Britain, and then looks at the Romanization of Gaul and the eventual fall of Roman Gaul in the dissolution of the Roman Empire - odd because of the narrow focus on Gaul (and to a lesser extent, Britain), but an easily readable and enjoyable book.

A pleasantly readable travelogue through Roman Gaul, basically. Not scholarly enough to feel like reading a history of Roman Gaul, not detailed enough to be an effective guidebook, but interesting and easy to dip in and out of.
