Caesar and GEOTUS have more in common. Both beloved by the people, always outnumbered, arguably the best tactician, carefully exercised his power, and just when you think he’s done, wins the fucking war. This is his Battle of Alesia. “... a horseback unit of the Celtic army managed to escape the fortification. Rightly concerned that they would bring reinforcements, Caesar decided to built another, outward facing, similar fortification, in effect locking his forces between two walls. The outside fortification covered some nine miles. Shortage of food and deteriorating living conditions forced Vercingetorix to try some desperate measures. In the hope that the Romans would let them go, he let every woman and child out of the fort. Caesar would have none of it and kept civilians in the no-man’s land between his legions and the Celts.“
