It was fought by the army of Julius Caesar against a confederation of Gallic tribes united under the leadership of Vercingetorix of the Arverni.

The battle of Alesia marked the end of Gallic independence in France and Belgium.
Alea iacta est "Alea iacta est " ("The die is cast") is a Latin phrase attributed by Suetonius (as "iacta alea est " ] ) to Julius Caesar on January 10, 49 B.C. as he led his army across the Rubicon river in Northern Italy. With this step, he entered Italy at the head of his army in defiance of the Senate and began his long civil war against Pompey and the Optimates. The phrase, either in the original Latin or in translation, is used in many languages to indicate that events have passed a point of no return.
