Alesia: Site of Caesar’s Greatest Victory – Time Travel Rome

Think of the #Seine and you may picture Notre Dame, the Louvre, a ballet of boats under bridges next to the Eiffel Tower. “Under the sky of Paris/runs a joyous river,” sang Edith Piaf…pop songs have certainly ensured the river’s international celebrity status. Yet few people know about the #GalloRoman goddess for which the Seine is named. #Celtic…healing deity #Sequana was honored in cult worship after the #Roman conquest of #Gaul in the 1st century…
Meet the ancient goddess of the Seine River: Sequana

The opening ceremony for the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics will take place on the fabled French waterway. But did you know it was named for a Gallo-Roman deity?

Christian chapel built on the #galloRoman site #Aedui of #Bibracte in #Morvan #France #GrandSiteDeFrance #gaul

The chapel is rather new and if you go visit do it for the remarkable gallo roman museum and its excavations. I just like the geometric form of the rather unimportant chapel.

If you are in the area do not forget to go to the best bar, restaurant, film archive and relay there, #LeCornemuse in #Arleuf and greet them from Nicolai with the red scooter.
