Cajus Julius Caesar Page #2

---

One year later. Tertullia moves to

meer Cajus Julius, who returns

with his invincible legions...

...from Iberia (present day Spain)

to Rome, to greet him as future

consul for the first time.

Although Cato tries with his great

speaker's talent to cross the

election of Cajus Julius as consul,

...the senate the next day still

greets Cajus Julius as consul.

Ten years later. Cajus Julius, who

for a long time held the plan to

penetrate even further into the land

of the Gauls (present day France

and Belgium) with the Roman legions,

wins Pompey over for this plan too.

He gives the latter his

daughter Julia as wife.

The glorious campagins and the many

done by Cajus Julius in the interest

of the republic...

...is belittled and depicted

as hostile to the republic by

the tutors of his son Brutus.

Irmidia, a Gaulish vestal

virgin, requests Julius

Caesar for an interview.

Despite the precautions of

Tertullia, she manages to

enter the room of Caesar.

Abandon your plans o Caesar! For

I predict you that your campaign

to Gaul will cost you your life.

Perhaps even sooner than you suspect.

Tertullia sacrifices herself for

Caesar. She takes the murdering

steel that was meant for him.

The people wish Caesar and his

legions luck on their departure

to the lands of the Gauls...

...and trusts, that they will

return as victors from there too.

Druids and druidesses (Gaulish priests

and priestesses) sacrifice to the gods,

and pray to them for protection of the

38 Gaulish tribes from the Roman rule.

Vercingetorix, king of the Arverni,

is appointed as supreme commander

of the Gaulish armies.

Irmidia, the Gaulish vestal virgin,

is inconsolable that her attempt

at Caesar's life has failed.

She wants to chop off her arm,

which was too weak to carry

the murdering steel.

"You have saved my arm. I will

give my life for the fatherland."

The siege of Alesia

by the Roman legions.

Gaulish reinforcements enter

by a secret road in the city

besieged by the Romans.

The Gaulish commander orders his

different chiefs to send messengers

to call all Gaulish tribes to Alesia.

One of the messengers has

been caught by the Romans.

To all Gaulish tribes that

fight for their freedom!

The Roman eagle threatens us!

Pay attention to the sign of

our commander Vercingetorix.

The signal of the tubicines.

[trumpet players]

The alerted Gauls move into

the city by the secret road.

At first light the Gauls stand

ready to storm the Roman army camp.

Lead by the heroic Camulogene,

the Gallic advance guard approaches

the defenses erected by the Romans.

Free Gaul lets you know: Run away

Romans, or Caesar's ambition will

make you find your grave here.
