About the series
Set in the 1st century BC, Vae Victis ! follows the journey of a young Gaulish warrior caught between the crumbling Roman Republic and his own people's struggle for survival. Published by Soleil from 1991 to 2006, this 15-issue series was primarily written by Simon Rocca and illustrated by Jean-Yves Mitton, offering a gritty, historically grounded perspective on the Gallic Wars. Its unflinching portrayal of ancient conflict and its focus on the human cost of empire make it a standout in European historical comics.
