A little bit of history
The war of conquest of Gaul, undertaken from 58 to 51/50 BC, by Julius Caesar, led to colonization and marked the beginning of the “Roman peace”. The Emperor Augustus organized Gaul into several provinces, divided into districts: the civitates, which corresponded to the layouts of the territories of the Gauls. Each territory erects its capital, and for the Coriosolites, it will be Corseul!
The city of Coriosolites developed and its population was then estimated at around 5 inhabitants.
Immerse yourself in this era by following in the footsteps of the Romans.
