The
Battle of Vosges was fought between the
Germanic tribe of the
Suebi under the leadership of
Ariovistus against six
Roman legions under the command of Gaius
Julius Caesar in 58 BC. This encounter is the third major battle of the
Gallic Wars. Germanic tribes crossed the Rhine, seeking a home in Gaul. The main Gallic rebellion had not started yet, as it was in 52 BC.
