Word origin
The term Gaul originated from the Latin word 'Gallus', which was used by the Romans to refer to the Celtic tribes living in the region. The Gauls were known for their bravery and resistance against Roman conquest. Over time, the term Gaul evolved to refer to the region itself, encompassing modern-day France and neighboring countries. The history of Gaul is intertwined with the expansion of the Roman Empire and the eventual assimilation of the Gauls into Roman culture.
