    He was certainly not a Germanic. The Gallic and Germanic tribes were largely at odds in this point in history - Caesar’s wider intervention in Gaul was predicated in no small part on the plea from Gallic allies of Rome to expel Germanic invaders (a request which they may have come to regret, lmao).

    Arguably, modern France is more Germanic than Gallic in origins, having its roots in the migrating tribes of the Germanic Franks and subsequent Frankish Kingdom, from which it gets its name.
