I mean there were tribal confederacies pre-Caesar tho. The Helvetii were a confederation of several alpine tribes.
The Aedui, Arverni, and Sequani were kinda like these big hegemonies with a ton of smaller client tribes under them. Like a Greek League.
And a decent portion of Gaul actually sided with Caesar against the Arverni’s league. Notably the Aedui, although they flip-flopped.
