Fountain, Bibracte, Burgundy, France
Monumental fountain in pink granite, oriented to the rising sun during the Winter Solstice and to the setting sun during the Summer Solstice, at Bibracte, a Gaulish oppidum or fortified city, once the capital of the Aedui, at Mont Beuvray near Autun in Burgundy, France. The fountain has been partially restored, and was originally waterproofed with a coating of red clay. 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
