# Alesia in 52 BCE ends Vercingetorix's revolt with a siege and a received large death-file

Date: 52 BC

## The fact

In 52 BCE Alesia ended Vercingetorix's revolt with a siege. [Caesar](/people/julius-caesar)'s own figures remain claims. The siege is the Fact. Julius Caesar's documented role is: He besieged Alesia. Double lines and starvation sit in BG; unique census of Gaul is his claim, not certified here.

## Context

Vercingetorix surrendered. Sharing the siege with the legions is required. Commentaries are publicity. The setting of Alesia in 52 BCE ends Vercingetorix's revolt with a siege and a received large death-file is the public file around -0052-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [humanitarian-access](/drivers/humanitarian-access) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
