Statue of Vercingetorix, Centre d'Interpretation
Statue of Vercingetorix, Gallic chieftain, plaster, 1864, by Aime Millet, 1819-91, model for the huge statue erected in 1865 on the Western point of the oppidum of Alesia, in the Centre d'Interpretation, a visitor centre designed by Bernard Tschumi, at the MuseoParc Alesia, on Mont-Auxois near Alise-Sainte-Reine, Burgundy, France. Alesia was originally a Celtic settlement which became a Gallo-Roman town after being conquered by Julius Caesar during the Gallic Wars. Alesia is the site of the Battle of Alesia, 52 BC, when the Romans under Julius Caesar defeated the Gauls under Vercingetorix. Picture by Manuel Cohen
