Ancient Gallic Town


Capital of the Aedui in the time of Julius Caesar


Bibracte, ancient Gallic town (modern Mont Beuvray, in Saône-et-Loire, France),

Mont Beuvray is known as the ancient Bibracte, which was the capital of Gallic culture and was conquered by Julius Ceasar. He defeated the army of Vercingetorix and emigrated the population to Autun. Bibracte fell into oblivion over the centuries and was rediscovered in 1867. Today it is a mystical place with many ancient trees and excavations from the years 50 BC

capital of the Aedui in the time of Julius Caesar and the site of his defeat of the Helvetii tribe, the climax of his first campaign in Gaul (58 BC). To destroy native traditions, Augustus moved the inhabitants to his new town Augustodunum (Autun) in 12 BC.

Bibracte fell into oblivion over the centuries and was rediscovered in 1867.
