Uxellodunum

Uxellodunum is an Iron Age hill fort (oppidum) perched above the Dordogne River near Vayrac in France's Lot department [1]. The stronghold was situated within the territory of the Cadurci tribe [1]. According to Aulus Hirtius in his addendum to Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War, this site witnessed the final armed resistance against Roman rule in Gaul around 50 BC [1][2]. The revolt was crushed, and the Romans exacted brutal retribution, marking the end of Gallic independence [1][2]. Archaeological evidence confirms the site's significance as one of the last major Gallic fortifications to resist Roman conquest [1].
