Vercingetorix by Aimé Millet 1865

 The inscription on the base reads:

    La Gaule unie
    Formant une seule nation
    Animée d'un même esprit,
    Peut défier l'Univers.

    (Gaul united,
    Forming a single nation
    Animated by a common spirit,
    Can defy the Universe.)


-Vercingetorix, Caesar's Gallic War 7.29
