Ancient region once conquered by Julius Caesar (4)

I believe the answer is:

gaul

(Other definitions for gaul that I've seen before include "Ancient area of western Europe" , "Ancient Western European" , "Ancient region of France/Belgium in Caesar's time" , "Asterix, for example" , "Roman France" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
