Gergovia - The chief town of the Arverni In the first century b.C., Strabon wrote that the (More) In the first century b.C., Strabon wrote that the Arverns had extended their domination all the way to Marseille, the Pyrénées mountains, the Ocean and the Rhine river, which demonstrates the importance of the city. Gergovia, its capital, was Vercingetorix's homeland. There, Caesar experienced a painful military defeat which almost ended his Gaulish Wars.
The memory of Gergovia's location was lost with time. Relatively recently, Gergovia was placed on the Merdogne plateau by Napoleon the 3rd. The plateau overlooks to the south the city of Clermont-Ferrand. This location is still considered the official site and is visited by approximately 80,000 tourists each year.
A few years ago, a new thesis surfaced that received considerable media coverage in the local press and television. The thesis places Gergovia on the Clermont Hills (Côtes de Clermont), north of the town. A violent controversy ensued that involved a problem with the exploitation of a quarry in the area. Mr. Giscard d'Estaing, former French President and a local of the area, found it necessary to intervene.
The parties responsible for archeology in Auvergne, in line with Christian Goudineau's thinking, have decided to minimize the importance of pinpointing the exact location of the Gergovia site, deliberately choosing to ignore the gaulish cities in favor of the valley dwellings.
In 1993, Emile Mourey published a second book (see Bibliography), in which he explained the history of Gergovia by placing the gaulish oppidum and towns on the spur of the Crest, approximately 7.5 miles south of Clermont-Ferrand.
This thesis is based in part on an improved translation of Caesar's text and on the author's military experience. The new findings are creating a serious problem for archeological research in France, the same problem posed by the new findings on Mont Beuvray.
Until now, research has been based on the inacurrate assumption that the gaulish civilization was essential rural and scattered--with the Mont Beuvray representing a rare example of urban agglomeration, otherwise lost in the middle of the woods. The French archeologists ignored Caesar's writings, despite the fact that they referred to twenty cities in the Biturige country alone.
Placing Gergovia at the Crest, in a medieval-style town, fortified and walled-in in the fashion of the Greeks, forces historians to correct their vision of History. As was the problem in the correct placement of Bibracte, the entire field of archeological research and interpretation must be rethought, in France and in Europe.
But Gergovia presents another problem. If Gergovia is indeed at the Crest, then the site must be preserved, but nobody knows whether the inhabitants would be in favor of it. (Less)
