Rivers in Caesar’s Gallic War

This began as a personal gazetteer while reading The Gallic War. The 99 selected passages follow book order; this is not a complete concordance. Book VIII is Hirtius’s continuation. The English text follows the public-domain translation credited to W. A. McDevitte in Project Gutenberg’s edition, with the few corrections noted beside affected passages.

Each pin is an approximate orientation point near a named modern town. It does not trace the river or identify the place of an ancient event. River names and identifications can be uncertain; particularly, the older translation’s “Sambre” needs caution. Caesar’s claims and descriptions are his account, not independent verification of events.

Reviewed 3 October 2026: duplicate selections and mixed-in Latin were removed, incomplete excerpts were restored, and book/chapter links were added. Original sequence identifiers remain in the data for traceability.
