Hidden in the forests of Burgundy, the ancient city of Bibracte—once the most important oppidum in Gaul and home to the Aedui tribe—reveals its secrets through modern archaeology. Perched atop a mountain and abandoned 2,000 years ago, this fortified city of 10,000 inhabitants stood out for its advanced defenses, unique for its time. Using LIDAR technology and CGI, researchers uncover signs of Roman influence, including a sophisticated water system, a forum, and a basilica. Ongoing excavations continue to shed light on the ingenuity of the Aedui and their pivotal role during the Romanization of Gaul.
