Cisalpine Gaul became part of Roman Italy between 49 BC and 42 BC. However, it seems to me that many authors such as Polybius (when talking aboug Hannibal crossing the Alps) and Caesar (in the beginning of Gallic wars) consider it Italy and not Gaul. Why is that?

The papacy is 2000 years old. It survived the persecutions, the fall of Rome, the end of feudal society, the protestant reformation, European wars of religion, and the advent of our modernity. How did such a traditional institution survive so many turbolences and several defeats?
