Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

Quite possibly, but he certainly raised troops locally.
A statement that illustrates your profound ignorance of the contemporary situation and is somewhat at odds with your claim to have read Caesar's commentaries.

Originally posted by Hypatia_Alexandria View PostThat Roman power and influence was consolidated throughout Gaul is a somewhat different matter from your schoolboy contention that Caesar invaded and conquered all of Gaul. That notion remains arrant nonsense.

Why do you automatically assume that something that you didn't know and had to look up (or else you wouldn't have asked the question and presented it as some major mystery in the first place) is something nobody else could have else known?

It was propaganda. He wrote it to glorify himself and to rationalize his actions. Often he had to stretch the truth to do so -- as is common in propaganda.

The text of The Gallic Wars as we now have it was not all written at one time. It comprises a series of dispatches regularly sent by Caesar back to Rome to be read [possibly in the senate] and certainly by his supporters to demonstrate and enhance his military prowess and political status. Bear in mind that military conquest and the booty that came with it was particularly important for Roman commanders and helped keep them [as it were] in the spotlight back in Rome.

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostShow me where rogue06 asserted that "Caesar invaded and conquered all of Gaul."
Originally posted by rogue06 View Post, like with Caesar's Gallic Campaign (where you claimed that Caesar never invaded Gaul but won't explain how he conquered it)
Originally posted by rogue06 View PostYour comments provided irrelevant background regarding Caesar's career and certainly didn't explain how Caesar managed to conquer Gaul without ever invading it [..] .and therefore that somehow means that Caesar didn't invade Gaul.
Originally posted by rogue06 View PostYou are the one who kept saying he never conquered it leading me to ask if they just joined the Roman Empire on their own after receiving a threatening letter.
Originally posted by rogue06 View PostWhat we have is archaeological evidence of Rome conquering Gaul.

I have just noticed this. You do tend to make something of an ass of yourself when you offer your opinion on a topic of which you know nothing."It ain't necessarily so
