Gaul
Celtic Western Europe
Gaul was the ancient Roman name for the region comprising modern-day France, Belgium, and parts of neighboring countries.
The term also refers to the Celtic peoples who inhabited this territory before and during Roman conquest.
In modern usage, Gaul appears primarily in historical contexts discussing Roman expansion, Julius Caesar's military campaigns, or Celtic culture.
Caesar's conquest of Gaul extended Roman territory to the Atlantic.
The related adjective Gaulish describes the Celtic language once spoken there.
