Commentarii de Bello Gallico (English: Commentaries on the Gallic War) is Julius Caesar's firsthand account of the Gallic Wars, written as a third-person narrative. In it Caesar describes the battles and intrigues that took place in the nine years he spent fighting local armies in Gaul that opposed Roman domination. The "Gaul" that Caesar refers to is sometimes all of Gaul except for the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis (modern day Provence), encompassing the rest of modern France, Belgium and some of Switzerland. On other occasions, he refers only to that territory inhabited by the Celtic peoples known to the Romans as Gauls, from the English Channel to Lugdunum (Lyon). The account has often been used in teaching Latin. It begins with the common phrase "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres" (sometimes quoted as "Omnia Gallia in tres partes divisa est" for "All Gaul is divided into three parts"). The full work is divided into 8 sections, Book 1 to Book 8, each varying in size from nearly 5000 to 15,000 words.
