 | | This is supposedly against the Gallic beliefs and it punishable by death, however when he was found murdered, evidence pointed that Roman weapons had been used when, if he was due for death, the druids would have done it. | | | He was assassinated by a group of senators, possibly in support of Pompey or possibly for some gain of their own, on the Ides of March 44 BC, below a statue of Pompey. | | | Because of this he had popular support and his voice carried great weight with the public at large. |

| | As Notker's life of Charlemagne testifies, the role of Julian in Gaul was considered significant for the rise of the Franks, in part because Julian granted a certain legitimacy to the Salian's claims to being the successors of Rome when he agreed to settle them in Toxandria. | | | Clovis chose the Gallic town of Paris as his capital, much as the first Christian Emperor had created a new capital at Constantinople. | | | Julian's call to the East and subsequent death on campaign, however, brought an end to a significant imperial presence in Gaul. |

| | In Alexandria, dreams of a "Christian Empire" with genuine continuity were shattered when a rampaging mob of Christians were encouraged to sack and destroy the Serapeum in 392. | | | In fact, the Republican institutions at Rome had been destroyed over the preceding century and Rome had been effectively under one-man rule since the time of Sulla. | | | Claudius had long been considered a weakling and a fool by the rest of his family. |

| | Gallia - Province of the Roman Empire |
| | A former religious center of Gallic society, Lugdunum (Lyon) became the capital of Roman Gaul. | | | Upon Hannibal's defeat in 202 BCE, the Gauls again tried to organize against Rome, but the Boii, then the dominant Gallic tribe, were subdued by 191 BCE. | | | They had been the most powerful Gallic tribe in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC under their king, Luernios, but when his son, Bituitos was defeated by the Romans in 123BC and the Roman ‘Provincia’ established, their ascendancy passed to the Aedui and Sequani. |

| | Aurelian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Aurelian won this campaign largely through diplomacy; the "Gallic Emperor" Tetricus II was willing to abandon his throne and allow Gaul and Britain to return to the empire, but could not openly submit to Aurelian. | | | The menace of the German people was, however, perceived as high by the Romans, and Aurelian was forced to build a around Rome. | | | In the fall of 275, Aurelian was in Asia Minor preparing another campaign against the Parthians, who were stirring up trouble on the frontier, when he met his end. |

| | Aurelian |
| | The "Gallic Empire" had started in 269 AD when the governor of Gaul, Marcus Cassianius Latinius Postumus, had rebelled against the misrule -- really, the lack of rule -- by Gallienus (while Valerian was a prisoner of Shapur I). | | | Similar usurpations were happening in other areas of the empire as local governors organized local defenses and called themselves emperors. | | | In AD 270-272, Zenobia, who was the dowager of its ruling house and the viceroy for her young son Vaballathus, took control of Roman Egypt, Arabia, and parts of Asia Minor. |

| | Third-Century Crisis - Gallic Empire - Postumus |
| | Gallienus appears to have mounted a couple of campaigns against Postumus (the suggested date is 265), with mixed success, but failed to dislodge him. | | | In 282 he was killed by his own men, either in a simple mutiny, or as the result of a revolt by his successor, Carus. | | | The killing of Alexander Severus, in 235, appears to have precipitated a period of chaos in the Roman Empire which lasted for half a century. |

| | This would mean that the people of the Gallic Empire (at least in Britain) would not want to trade with the central empire or at least not want their coins. | | | The question which this analysis hopes to answer is whether or not the Gallic Empire was based on an economic response to the Roman third-century crisis. | | | This indicates that Britain did trade with parts of the central empire during the last few years of the Gallic Empire. |
