Caesar the Conqueror (Italian: Giulio Cesare, il conquistatore delle Gallie) is a 1962 Italian epic historical drama film directed by Tanio Boccia. The scenario is based on Julius Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico.[1]
The plot centres around Julius Caesar's battling the rebels in Gaul.[2]
In 54 B.C., Julius Caesar faces battles on two fronts: in Gaul against the Gauls led by Vercingetorix, and in Rome against his political rivals, including Cicero and Pompey. Ultimately, he emerges victorious against them all.
