bibracte

Bibracte was the capital of the Aedui in the Iron Age, one of the most important hillforts in Gaul. It is situated near modern Autun in Burgundy, France. In 58 BC at the Battle of Bibracte, Julius Caesar's armies defeated the Helvetii 16 miles south of the fort. Today, important international excavations take place at the oppidum of Bibracte (Mont Beuvray), with teams from the universities of Sheffield, Kiel, Budapest, Vienna and Leipzig. The first excavations were begun at the site by the wine merchant Gabriel Bulliot between 1867 and 1895. His nephew Joseph Dchelette, author of the famous 'manuel d'Archologie' continued the excavations between 1897 and 1907.
