Cisalpine Gaul
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Julius Caesar used Gallia Cisalpina for the 'good guys' in Gaul (Gallia) on this side of the Alps from Caesar's point of view (Rome) - and Gallia Transalpina for Gallia on the other side of the Alps.

"Gallican" was used for both areas of course.
