The Monument to Vercingétorix, an imposing copper statue, towers over the Mont Auxois at 22 feet tall (6.6 m) on the historic site of the siege of Alesia. Vercingetorix (82-46 BC) was a king and chieftain of the Arverni tribe; he united the Gauls in a revolt against Roman forces during the last phase of Julius Caesar's Gallic Wars. The monumental statue of Vercingetorix was ordered by Napoleon III in 1865 to commemorate the Gaul leader’s victory over Julius Caesar at Gergovie in 52 BC.
