Translation from Caesar's Gallic Wars

"All of Gaul is divided into three parts, one of which the Belgae live in, the Aquitani live in another, and those who in their own language are called Celts, in our language called Gauls, the third. These all differ from each other in customs, laws, and language. The river Garonne separates the Gauls from the Aquitani; the Marne and the Seine separate them from the Belgae."

The Gallic Wars were a series of military campaigns waged by Caesar against several Gallic tribes, 

lasting from 58-51 BC. These wars paved the way for Caesar to become the sole ruler of the Roman 

Republic. The campagin was painstakingly described by Caesar in his commentary, Commentarii De 

Bello Gallico, which is an important historical source.
