Vercingetorix — Arvernian leader of the Gallic revolt of 52 BC
A young Arvernian noble who federated peoples used to fighting each other, he waged scorched earth against a better-organised army, came near to winning, and gave himself up to spare his men. He waited six years in a Roman cell before being strangled at his conqueror’s triumph. (Editorial synthesis)
