Plan of the mountain of Gergovia and its environs
Etymology: Gaulish
Gergovia was a Gaulish town in modern Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes [1] Allier , near present-day Clermont-Ferrand . It was the capital of the Averni . The city of Gergovia had strong walls and was located on a giant raised plateau surrounded by hills.
It was the chief town (oppidum ) of the Arverni and the site of the Battle of Gergovia in 52 BC [1] [4] Roman Republic army, led by proconsul Julius Caesar , and Gallic forces led by Vercingetorix .[5] Caesar marched south with six legions to take the hill town of Gergovia. The Gauls won the battle, which led to increased cavalry support for Vercingetorix's campaign for future battles.[6] Gallia for Caesar and the Roman army.
