Roman Gaul consisted of an area of provincial rule in the Roman Empire, in modern day France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and western Germany. Roman control of the area lasted for 600 years. The Roman Empire began its takeover of what was Celtic Gaul in 121 B.C.E., when it conquered and annexed the southern reaches of the area.
Julius Caesar completed the task by defeating the Celtic tribes in the Gallic Wars of 58-51 B.C.E. and the Romanization was quick and large; Latin was spoken by a majority of Gauls in the first century C.E. but with some remains of the Gallic language. Following the Romans' defeat by the Franks at the Battle of Soissons in 486 C.E., Gaul came under the rule of the Merovingians, the first kings of France. The only attempt at a rebellion against Rome was an unsuccessful uprising in 257 C.E. under Postumus.
After the fall of Rome
The Roman administration finally collapsed as remaining troops were withdrawn southeast to protect Italy. Between 455 and 475, the Visigoths, the Burgundians, and the Franks assumed power in Gaul. Certain aspects of the ancient Celtic culture continued however after the fall of Roman administration. The words "gaul" and "gaulois" continued to be used, at least in writing, until the end of the Merovingian period.
After the collapse of the Roman Empire, the Merovingians set themselves the task of maintaining and keeping in "working order the administrative machinery of the Romans". While the Byzantine Emperor remained the main claimant to the title of "Roman Emperor," from an early date the French kings also "claimed to be the successor to the Roman Emperor." Regarding the Church as the "representative of Roman civilization" they soon forged a strong alliance with the papacy, emerging as the popes' political protectors. In 800 C.E., Charlemagne was crowned Holy Roman Emperor. Behind this lay the desire to maintain stability and peace across Western Europe, which had benefited from the Pax Romana under a single administration and legal code. Different states had their distinctive customs and sense of local identity but saw themselves as part of a wider space as well. The Holy Roman Empire has been described as a "revival form of supranational European integration."
