As SPQR covers the period from the rise of the Republic to 199 CE, he is - though only briefly, as that particular rebellion against Julius wasn't the only one, and the book is as much about how Rome worked and how its people lived as it is about politicians and warfare.Is Vercingetorix in the book you're reading?
