http://www.answers.com/topic/battle-of-alesia

“At one point in the battle the Romans were outnumbered by the Gauls by five to one. The event is described by several contemporary authors, including Caesar himself in his Commentarii de Bello Gallico... The refusal of the Roman senate to allow Caesar the honour of a triumph for his victory in the Gallic Wars eventually led, in part, to the Roman civil war of 50–45 BC.”

Have read about Vercingetorix for years. However I have never heard the name spoken. Could someone post the phonic spelling?
