Battle of Bibracte

Column 2 of 8 on the campaign map: Arar and Bibracte, 58 BC

From the legate

58 BC. The Helvetii have turned to fight at last, with the Boii and Tulingi beside them. They mass before their wagons below Bibracte, the hill town of the Aedui. If your cohorts break here, Caesar's army will be crushed and Gaul lost to us.
