text_original: As they were not nearly so civilized as the Gauls, they recklessly destroyed everything they found which they could not appreciate or carry away. Barbarians invading Gaul. The peaceful Gauls, unable to defend themselves against these great hordes of barbarians, fled in terror, watching from afar the destruction of their towns and farms, while the Romans and fighting Gauls bravely tried to drive the invaders away. But their efforts were vain against such huge numbers ; they were defeated in battle after battle.
