How did the people of Gaul adapt to quickly to Roman cultural

It wasn't as pervasive as is often thought. Native Gallic language, fashion, architecture and art persisted in some form right through Roman rule until around the 7th or 8th century. It wasn't unusually successful or anything, not by Roman standards anyway.

>How did the people of Gaul adapt to quickly to Roman cultural influence?
I would hardly call several centuries of forgetting their ancestral culture a quick adaptation

Makes sense, I figure it is portrayed as such in France and northern Italy to maintain the whole "inheritors of Romain Empire" thing

>>2022371
Viewing it in France vs Spain, the adaptation was fairly quick considering the time spend occupied

This. People seem to be under the misguided belief that native customs and languages vanished and were replaced by a monolithic Roman culture. People still spoke Gallic, still saw themselves as being "Aeduian" or "Arvenian" and had old Celtic fashions like belt buckles. In Armorica, northern Spain and Britain pre-Roman tribes reappeared 500 years after their conquest.

Thanks guys, answers like these are why I come here.

Didn't the Romans also adopt the Gallic goddess Epona? Things worked both ways.

Yeah, cultural transference was going both ways.

Part of the issue here is that Caesar made a legion of Gauls citizens and set a precedent breaking down the distinction between italians and provincial peoples
