Gallia redirects here - for other meanings, see
Gallia (disambiguation). For Gaul after the Roman conquest, see
Roman Gaul. Gaul was the name given, in ancient times, to the region of
Western Europe comprising present-day northern
Italy,
France,
Belgium, western
Switzerland and the parts of the
Netherlands and
Germany on the west bank of the
Rhine river. In English, the word Gaul may also refer to a
Celtic inhabitant of that region, although the expression may be used more generally for all ancient speakers of the
Gaulish language (a derivative of early
Celtic) who were widespread in
Europe and extended even into central
Anatolia by Roman times. In this way, "Gaul" and "Celt" are sometimes used interchangeably.
