Yes, but that sadly doesn't help the Gauls, as they are usually getting a severe beating by the Britons. The Germans also get beat up a lot. That is odd since those two factions should be able to crush the Britons with little effort, if combined. Yet they get defeated.
In my latest game the Britons have even taken a settlement from the Spanish while they have driven the Gauls to the province just north of Patavium and the Germans get pushed around like children. Only my intervention by asking the Julii and Brutii to attack them and supporting the Gauls, Germans and Spanish with funds have stopped their offensive.

Now we know why that is possible perhaps.
