Gallid: erinevus redaktsioonide vahel

Esimesed andmed gallialastest pärinevad 5. sajandist eKr, kui nad olid La Tène'i kultuuri kandjad põhja pool Alpe. Kultuur laius aladel Seine'i, Reini keskjooksu ja Elbe ülemjooksu vahel. 4. sajandiks eKr levisid nad üle suurema osa tänapäeva Prantsusmaast, Šveitsist, Lõuna-Saksamaast, Austriast ja Tšehhiast. Gallialased kontrollisid kaubateid Rhône'i, Seine'i, Reini ja Doonau jõestikel ning nende võim laienes kiiresti Põhja-Itaaliasse, Balkanile, [[Transilvaania]]sse ja [[Anatoolia]]sse.[1] Gaul was never united under a single ruler or government, but the Gallic tribes were capable of uniting their forces in large-scale military operations. They reached the peak of their power in the early 3rd century BC. The rising Roman Republic after the end of the First Punic War increasingly put pressure on the Gallic sphere of influence; the Battle of Telamon of 225 BC heralded a gradual decline of Gallic power over the 2nd century, until the eventual conquest of Gaul in the Gallic Wars of the 50s BC. After this, Gaul became a province of the Roman Empire, and the Gauls were culturally assimilated into a Gallo-Roman culture, losing their tribal identities by the end of the 1st century AD.
