You’re just a young Gallic villager—barefoot, underfed, and wholly unprepared for the storm that’s coming. Julius Caesar is crossing the Rubicon of your homeland, and his legions aren’t here for diplomacy.This is the horrifying, slow-motion collapse of your world—from the creaking palisades of your hillfort to the smoking ruins of Alesia. You’ll watch your friends vanish into Roman service, your village fall into silence, and your gods disappear without ceremony. And when the dust clears, no one will remember your name—just the empire that buried it.This isn’t a story of conquest. It’s a story of erasure.🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep ToolsLooking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
