| Summary |
"L'oppidum de Bibracte" by Jacques-Gabriel Bulliot is a historical and archaeological guide published in the late 19th century. This comprehensive account details the ancient oppidum of Bibracte, which was the capital of the Aedui tribe and a prominent site during Roman times. The text serves as both a guide and a significant historical account of the region, outlining the remains of Bibracte and its importance in the context of Gaul during the pre-Roman and Roman periods. The book delves into the historical significance of Bibracte, detailing its geographical positioning atop Mont Beuvray and its role as a fortified settlement. Bulliot explores various aspects of the oppidum’s infrastructure, including its walls, gates, and internal structures such as temples and marketplaces. He discusses archaeological findings and traditions associated with Bibracte, painting a vivid picture of its past flourishing culture before its decline following Roman conquest. Throughout the work, there are references to the archaeological evidence uncovered through excavations that reveal the artistic, economic, and social elements of the ancient Gauls, contributing to our understanding of European prehistory.
