- Vercingetorix_in_popular_culture abstract "The ancient Gallic chieftain Vercingetorix (c. 82 BC–46 BC) has appeared many times in works of popular culture. Vercingetorix appears in the Asterix series of comics, notably in Asterix and the Chieftain's Shield and Asterix the Gaul. He is seen at his surrender to Caesar, aloofly throwing his arms on (rather than at) Caesar's feet causing him to hobble, rather than walk, to his next conquest. Conversely, when Caesar himself relates the story of Vercingetorix's surrender to some of his minions, the Gallic chieftain is depicted as worn out and eager to give up. Vercingetorix rose to prominence as a French nationalist hero during the 19th century, especially due to the efforts of Napoleon III and several "Celtomaniac" historians such as François Guizot and Augustin Thierry. His image was celebrated in numerous monumental bronze statues, paintings, works of literature, and school textbooks. Vercingetorix appears in the third yearbook of the Marvel G.I.
