The City-Dwellers

Julius Caesar named "Gaul" the divided territories which he conquered between 58 and 51 BCE. The Gallo-Roman civilization then flourished during more than two centuries of peace, with a lasting effect on our territory embodied by ancient monuments such as amphitheatres, forums or temples but also traces of streets of Roman-influenced town centres. 

The word “city” leads to “city-dweller” and eventually leads to “citizen”. A concept, comprised of rights and duties, which develops and facilitates the Romanization of Gaul.
