WD> In his book "De Bello Gallico" (My wars in Gaul) Ceasar writes

"Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres, quarum unam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquitani, tertiam qui ipsorum lingua Celtae, nostra Galli appellantur."
I learned it in school too.
WD> Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae
"Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae, propterea quod a cultu atque humanitate provinciae longissime absunt, minimeque ad eos mercatores saepe commeant atque ea quae ad effeminandos animos pertinent important, proximique sunt Germanis, qui trans Rhenum incolunt, quibuscum continenter bellum gerunt."
WD> The Belgians are the bravest of them all.
Like the Germans. "But we still beat the shit out of them."
WD> That was written 2165 years ago ...
Caesar was an intelligent man. And he ruled far before Belgium even existed. That was the name of a tribe, for your information, not a country.
