APEX AGE: ANTIQUITY

The Gauls civilization is now available in Sid Meier's Civilization® VII!*

This content is available as part of the Hall of History Collection DLC** bundle featuring two leaders and three civilizations. 

Throughout the Iron Age, much of western Europe was settled by the Gauls, a group of Celtic tribes known for their brilliant metalsmiths and fearless warriors. As their population grew, the Gauls began seeking new resources and fresh land - but so did their neighbors, most famously, the Romans. In 390 BCE, the Gauls sacked Rome, becoming the most feared of Rome's enemies for centuries. Eventually united under their chieftain Vercingetorix, the Gauls offered fierce resistance to Rome's imperial ambitions, forever leaving their mark on history.
