The Battle of Alesia
In 52 BCE Julius Caesar trapped Vercingetorix in the hilltop oppidum of Alesia, ringed it with miles of earthworks, then fought off a massive Gallic relief force from a second line. This episode explains the double fortifications, the cavalry battles, the relief assaults, and how surrender turned the Gallic War.
