Shortly before the begin. ning of the Christian Era all three parts of Gaul were firmly under the beel of the Roman Empire. In the year 27 B.C. the Emperor Augustus com- pleted the Romanicntion of Gaul. In the first century A.D. an organised attempt to free Gaul from Rome was crushed by the Emperor Ves- paslan. Two centuries later the Gallic peasants, rendered desperate by the exactions of the Roman treasury, formed themselves into marauding bands and plundered the country wholesale. They were suppressed by the Emperor Diocletian, but in them were
