The two subcategories of 'barbarian' (defined as Celtic, Belgic, Germanic, and British) and 'Roman' form a false dichotomy. First of all, there are individuals from southern Gaul who are ethnically Celtic and hold Roman citizenship. Second, the distinction implies that all individuals in the 'barbarian' category have something in common; the Aedui, however, considered themselves the "brothers" (fratres) of the Romans and would almost certainly have thought of themselves as more like the Romans than the Germanic peoples who were invading their territory. This is a simplistic, 'us vs. them' view of the politics and alliances of the Gallic Wars, and buys into the propaganda of both Caesar and Vercingetorix. Cynwolfe (talk) 03:28, 26 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
