Vercingetorix was a Gaulish Chieftain who led several tribes in opposition to Julius Caesar's Conquest of Gaul. He had some success, but in the end was defeated by Caesar, taken to Rome and led in chains through Rome before execution. He is still a big hero to the French, inspiring a dozen or so comics and art magazines and at least 5 TV series and feature films.
