The peoples of Gaul, while comparable in military strength to Great Levantia swayed back and forth between a united enemy of the empire and an internally divided coalition that broke as easy as it formed. This resulted in what was called the Four Gallian Wars or Campaigns, the first three fighting for control of the to be Levantine province, and the final war to put down the general Gallian Revolt that sparked that would mark the end of the wars and pacification of the province as remaining resistance either assimilated, fell back into the mountains and highlands or went further west into the unconquered territories. | The peoples of Gaul, while comparable in military strength to Great Levantia swayed back and forth between a united enemy of the empire and an internally divided coalition that broke as easy as it formed.

Much of the story of the Gallian Wars comes from Pictor himself in his own account of the war and from Levantine historian (TBD) in the 36 AD during the early Potentate. Accurate numbers of the forces during any given campaign, and how many were killed and enslaved still vary and are debated by modern historians, but historians agree the wars were exceptionally brutal and intense, and bloody affair. | Much of the story of the Gallian Wars comes from Pictor himself in his own account of the war and from Levantine historian (TBD) in the 36 AD during the early Potentate.

Besides the territorial impacts of the war, it had massive repercussions on the Great Levantine economy as the majority of slaves and their descendants from the period after the war are thought to have been captured during the war, changing the complexion of [[Slavery in Great Levantia|slavery and the slave economy]] in Great Levantia. | ||
