The Gallic Wars have become a popular setting in modern historical fiction, especially that of France and Italy. Claude Cueni wrote a semi-historical novel, "The Caesar's Druid", about a fictional Celtic druid, servant of Caesar and recorder of his campaigns. Morgan Llewelyn also wrote a book, "Druids", about a Celtic druid who assisted Vercingetorix in his campaign against Julius Caesar. Similarly, Norman Spinrad's "The Druid King" follows the campaigns from Vercingetorix's perspective. In addition, the comic "Astérix" is set shortly after the Gallic Wars, where the titular character's village is the last holdout in Gaul against Caesar's legions.
