Resumen

The work usually entitled Commentarii de Bello Gallico was written by Gaius Julius Caesar while he was proconsul at the provinces of Illyricum and Cisalpine Gaul (59-50 b.C.E.) and narrates his campaigns in Gaul, with its conquest and subjection as his major aims. The present article intends to analyze how Caesar presents his ethnography of Gaul in the Bello Gallico as a metonymy of the region by the inhabitants, thus excluding the ethnographies of Germania and Britannia. Furthermore, we will explore how the author constructs the image of an ideal enemy through the articulation of that ethnography with the concept of virtus, creating an opponent so valorous that he could even sometimes be compared with the Romans, but who, nevertheless, was subdued and conquered by him, Caesar.
