Alesia, the oppidum Mandubiorum , was the location of Julius Caesar's famous siege and victory over Vercingetorix in 52 BCE ( Bellum Gallicum 8.68). Little is known of the Mandubians, who lived between the Lingones (capital Langres) to the north, and the Aedui (capital Bibracte (Mont Beuvray)) to the south.
