Explanation: Vercingetorix was a Gallic leader who rallied the tribes of Gaul to oppose Caesar's conquest.

Problem is, he rallied the tribes of Gaul after Caesar had already been conquering them for several years. A bit late, and against one of the best military minds in history, Vercingetorix was pretty soundly defeated.
