Shaw (I think it was) had Caesar say, “would that he were a Roman” about Vercingetorix; the HBO series “Rome” had the V-man killed in Caesar’s triumphal parade. The real guy wound up living out his life on a pension, in Rome.

BTW, if I had a time machine that flies, I’d go back to get aerial views of the Battle of Alesia, a siege within a siege.
