Information
------------------------------
In the heart of Morvan, the French region of Burgundy, deep in a forest, lies a hidden city that had been dormant for 2,000 years. It's called Bibracte, the most important oppidum in all of Gaul, rediscovered in the middle of the 19th century. That is where the Aedui, a Gallic tribe allied to the Romans, once built a fortified city on top of a mountain.
But the mighty capital of the Aedui disappeared and lay hidden under thick forest for a long time.What happened? What did this 10,000-inhabitant ancient city look like? How did the builders manage to erect indestructible fortifications at a time when no other Gallic city featured such protection? How did archeologists decipher old pieces of wood despite the wear and tear of Father Time? And why did the Aedui suddenly abandon their capital?
Thanks to topographic maps using LIDAR technology as well as spectacular computer-generated imagery, you're about to discover the evidence of swift Romanization of the Gallic tribes, notably through a complex water system, a forum, a basilica and imposing stone houses.
To this day, Bibracte remains a vast excavation site, the remains of which continue to reveal long-lost secrets. As true investigators, archeologists unveil the craftiness and the genius of this ancient tribe at a turning point in the Roman Gallic era.
