| By the time of the death of Roman emperor Julius Caesar in 44 bc, Rome had gained control over the whole territory of Gaul, a region that stretched beyond the borders of modern France. Although they initially intended to extend the boundary of Gaul beyond the Rhine and into Germanic territories, the Romans ultimately limited themselves to defending the border after suffering a defeat at the hands of the Germans in ad 9. This map shows the extent of Gaul in ad 50. | ||||||
