I was under the impression that corn was native to the Americas but in reading The Gallic Wars, Caesar mentions tributes of corn to his forces as he moves his legions through Gaul. Is this simply changed in translation or was there corn in Europe before the discovery of the Americas?

As the other poster mentioned, "corn" is sometimes used to refer to any grain. You might also be interested in this post by u/Aerandir where he discusses the original Latin: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/48zpz6/corn_in_ancient_europe/d0nxxqk/
