Gate model, Musee de la Civilisation Celtique

Model of the main gate into Bibracte, which excavations have proved to have side posts and towers framing the gate, in the Musee de la Civilisation Celtique, or Museum of Celtic Civilisation, designed by Pierre-Louis Faloci, opened 1996, at Bibracte, a Gaulish oppidum or fortified city, once the capital of the Aedui, at Mont Beuvray near Autun in Burgundy, France. The gate and rampart were destroyed by fire at the time of an exodus of people from the oppidum in 58 BC. The museum explores the discovery and excavation of the site of Bibracte, its context within the Celtic period, and the life of the Aedui at Bibracte. Picture by Manuel Cohen
