In the year 52 before the beginning of our Christian era, Julius Caesar's army defeated the Gallic army in ALESIA under their leader VERCINGETORIX, who had succeeded in uniting the various Gallic tribes in battle. Many people, mostly young people, will be somewhat familiar with this battle - even without any further knowledge of French history - because: The internationally successful comic series ASTERIX by the author duo Goscinny & Uderzo introduces its readers to it. However, in these stories it is apparently not possible to identify the place of fate with a specific location: “I don't know any Alesia. Nobody knows where this Alesia is," claims Majestix, head of the small Gallic village that successfully resisted the Roman occupiers - thanks to the legendary magic potion of their druid Miraculix - for example in the volume "Asterix and the Avernian Shield".

This monument, although only erected in the second half of the 19th century, takes us back two millennia in history, 52 years before the beginning of the Christian era. It is dedicated to the brave warrior VERCINGETORIX, who tried to defend Gaul against the Roman Empire under Julius Caesar. Even though Caesar was able to assert himself militarily here, the proud monument is not dedicated to him personally, but to his defeated opponent Vercingetorix.
