Column base, Bibracte, Burgundy, France
Column base in the archaeological excavations in the monumental basilica complex, built late 1st century BC, at Bibracte, a Gaulish oppidum or fortified city, once the capital of the Aedui, at Mont Beuvray near Autun in Burgundy, France. The column bases spanned 4 by 8 columns supporting the central roof of a large room with porticoes and courtyards, suggesting a forum. Before the Roman conquest of Gaul under Julius Caesar in 52 BC, the Celtic city of Bibracte had over 30, 000 inhabitants. Picture by Manuel Cohen
