The Celtic people of ancient France whose Vercingetorix resistance heroism, La Tène artistic brilliance, and Asterix cultural immortality made them the most romantically celebrated and archaeologically rich ancestral nation in the French civilization.
Gauls — the Celtic-speaking people of ancient France whose La Tène culture, the most artistically sophisticated expression of Iron Age Celtic civilization in western Europe, produced in the torque jewelry, the decorated shield bosses, and the wheel-thrown pottery of the Gaulish craftsmen the most technically accomplished and most aesthetically distinctive metalwork tradition in pre-Roman Europe, the swirling vegetal ornament and the dynamic animal interlace of La Tène art expressing a Gaulish aesthetic sensibility whose influence on subsequent European decorative traditions the Romans absorbed and transmitted to the medieval world. The Gaulish world whose Vercingetorix — the Arverni chieftain whose confederation of Gaulish tribes mounted in 52 BC the most coordinated and most strategically sophisticated resistance to Roman conquest in the history of the Gallic Wars, the siege of Alesia where Caesar's double circumvallation trapped Vercingetorix's army while simultaneously defeating the Gaulish relief force in the most technically brilliant siege operation in Roman military history — became after his defeat and execution in Rome the most powerfully resonant symbol of Gaulish national resistance, the French Republic's adoption of the Gauls as ancestral forebears giving every French schoolchild the most ancient and most heroically defeated founding myth in European national identity, and whose Asterix, the Gaulish village warrior whose indomitable resistance to Roman occupation René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo made the most internationally beloved comic hero in French cultural history.
