Dhameystir weedha soo socota: Sannadkii 70aad ee BC, kadib dagaalkii sokeeye ee u dhexeeyay jabhaddii aristocratic-ka ahayd ee Sulla iyo inta ka hartay taageerayaasha Marius iyo Cinna, ninkii caanka ahaa ee Roomaanka ahaa ee Quintus Sertorius wuxuu diiday inuu Spain u dhiibo taliskii Sullan. Go'aankii uu qaatay wuxuu dhaliyay dagaalkii Sertorian, kaas oo siyaasadihii Celtic ee Mediterranean Gaul lagu soo rogay ciidamo iyo qasabyo qasab ah si ay u taageeraan dadaallada militariga ee Metellus Pius, Pompeius Magnus ("Pompey the Great"), iyo taliyayaashii kale ee Roomaanka ee ka soo horjeeday mucaaradka. Celts qaar, oo ay ku jiraan laga yaabee Helvii iyo Volcae Arecomici, ayaa taageeray Sertorius. Ka dib markii la dilay Romankii mucaaradka ahaa, Metellus iyo Pompeius waxay awoodeen inay ku dhawaaqaan guul, iyo Helvii iyo Volcae waxaa lagu qasbay inay ka tanaasulaan qayb ka mid ah dhulalkooda magaalada Giriigga ee Massilia (Marseilles maanta), oo ah xulaf madaxbanaan oo daacad u ah Rome qarniyo, oo si istiraatiiji ah ugu taal afka webiga Rhône iyo taageeraha adag ee Pompeius.Intii lagu jiray Dagaalkii Caesar ee Gallic, midkoodna "civitates" ee Gallic ee ku dhexjiray gobolka Narbonese kuma biirin ciidanka.
waxay ka qeyb qaateen kacdoonkii Gallic-ka ee 52 BC, mana aysan ku lug laheyn falal cadaawad ah oo loo geystay ciidamada Roomaanka. Valerii-da Helvian, dhab ahaantii, waxay door muhiim ah ka ciyaaraan sugida dhabarka Caesar militariga ka dhanka ah Vercingetorix, oo ciidamo u diray inay ku duulaan dhulka Helvian. Taariikhda Vivarais ee 1861, Abbé Rouchier wuxuu ku qiyaasay in Caesar, isagoo arkay adeegsiga istiraatiijiyadeed ee dhulka Helvian ee ku yaal xadka gobolka Roomaanka ee ku teedsan wadada ugu weyn ee Gallia dhexe, uu ku beeray Valerii isagoo ka soo kabanaya tallaabooyinka ciqaabta ee uu ka dhanka ahaa Pompeius. Caesar waxa uu ku xusay dhulkii lagu qabtay "Bellum Civile", isagoo si qarsoodi ah uga gaabsaday wax kasta oo ay sameeyeen saaxiibadiisa daacadda u ahaa ee Helvian ee ka soo horjeeday Roomaanka 70-meeyadii.
