ALESIA

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 543 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALESIA , the
ancient
  name for a hill in central
France
 , now Alise-Ste-Reine (department Cote d'Or), where in 52 B.C.
Caesar
  besieged the Gaulish
national
 
leader
  Vercingetorix within enormous entrenchments, forced him to surrender, and thus practically ended his
conquest
  of Gaul. The siege-works have been excavated by
Napoleon
  III. and others, down to the present day. The site seems to have been inhabited also during the
Roman
 
empire
 , but its importance is limited to
Caesar
 's siege.
