No. Vercingetorix was captured by Julius Caesar in Alesia, imprisoned for 5 years and sentenced to death by Caesar, in age 36. I doubt Cingerix was as much old in that time.

We must remember that in ancient times lifespan was much shorter than today. There were children marriages, and 30 old people were often grandparents...

So I'm quite shocked that Arin had her debut yet 8 years after capturing and "two years of hiding in the forest" (so it's 10 years already! or the authors lost themselves a bit). Even if she was captured in her teens, she must have debuted in her 20's - according to ancient standard, she was already mature woman! If she was in her 30's, no man would want "such old" debutant...

Back to the topic: In the first chapter, if we choose option "I belong to Catauni", Arin says to Lena in front of Aquila that she is "the chief's daughter and future chief", so it might mean that Cingerix is her little brother. So no way that he was 30 years old.

So no, he was no Vercingetorix. Too young, inexperienced and hotheaded.

Also, from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vercingetorix

It's just a coincidental similarity of names. Cingerix is just fairly typical Gallic male name. Most Gallic names were traditionally ending "ix" (one of France's department, Chamonix, also originates from Gaulic language). However, there were exceptions: some Gauls had Latin names ending -us, so we have "Victus" (in Latin "defeated", what parent gives such name to their son??? Loving parent would call him "Victor"!)... Authors didn't do their homework...
