Although the tables were turned later at the battle of Alesia, the Gauls remember Gergovia as a glorious victory. Years later, Caesar plans to parade with Vercingetorix's shield - but where can it be? The Romans and the Gauls race to find it. Julius Caesar has never recovered from his defeat by Vercingetorix.
