Nero has fallen. This event was seen by his own soldiers on the entire battlefield. For them it seems that all is lost.





Yet the battle on the left flank is still going on. The Barbarians don’t loose their will to fight with Neros demise.





They try to break through their line with Chariots, but Caesar placed strong elite troops on the left of his army who quickly deal with them.





Caesar [sweaty and out of breath]: This is starting to look good. By the gods, I can’t believe it. Push harder, take em’ down.

More and more of Neros soldiers start to turn tail and run. After four hours of fighting the odds are swinging for Caesar.



With the Roman enemy is fleeing the battle field, Caesar puts his whole army on the left flank to deal with the Barbarians.



Here Caesar fails to encircle his enemy, for the Gauls are wise enough to stay in the woods.



[The Aedui noblemen fight professionally and manage to kill many Roman soldiers. A centurion cries for reinforcements.]

Quite late the Aedui put their elite force on the field, trying to turn the battle to their favour. And what Caesars men saw was beyond anything they had encountered in their previous campaigns.



Naked Aedui infantry - these fierce warriors are drugged and in frenzy, fighting like wild madmen. They fight with such determination that some of Caesars men loose their nerve and flee.





The Aedui chieftain, King Barrivendos, is slain. More and more Aedui fall, slain by Caesars troops.



[The Roman soldiers fighting the naked infantry catch their breath again and under heavy casualties slowly take down these warriors one by one.]



After six hours of fighting the battle is very much in Caesars favour. While the Gauls still hold their position, there doesn’t seem a possibility to change the course of battle.



Still the Aedui fight and the seemingly endless battle goes on.



 [Most of the Romans have to fight standing on dead bodies; some of the soldiers have to step on the dead horses to get to their enemy. On both sides some warriors vomit over the disgusting scene.]





Yet after seven hours of fighting the rest of the Aedui army looses their will to fight and flees. Caesars victory is secured. Yet the battlefield is full of dead bodies.









It is already getting dark when the last pockets of resistance had been cleared by Caesars troops.



Caesar had attacked his enemy against all rules of warfare. And yet he had won. It was his most important victory in his life. With his 30.000 soldiers he had killed over 50.000 men. Yet his victory was not flawless. Nero and his allies had inflicted 15.000 casualties, that means half of Caesars troops.



 The battle of Cabalum was on of the most important battles of antiquity – and one of the bloodiest of all.



The Battle of Cabalum has been seen as the moment where the Roman Republic transformed into the Roman Monarchy. Caesars name would even become the title for later monarchs. He was the sole victor; his nemesis Nero and the Roman Republic were utterly defeated, despite the strange path history would take after the battle. Cabalum was the most impressive event, because of the two Titans who faced each other – former allies and friends. This clash of the Titans would remain as a legendary battle through the entire history.
