Vercingetorix throws down his arms at the feet of Julius Caesar by Lionel Royer.
Two men face each other. One on horseback, the other on a throne, one young and proud, the other ambitious and in the prime of life, one Gallic, the other Roman, one defeated, another winner. Two men who made history the day after the Battle of Alesia (September 52 BC).
