Uxellodunum

"Uxeloduno (en latín, Uxellodunum) era un oppidum galo ubicado cerca de lo que hoy en día es Vayrac sobre el río Dordoña en Francia. Esta plaza fuerte dentro de las tierras de la tribu cadurca. Según Aulo Hircio en su añadido a los Comentarios a la guerra de las Galias de Julio César, la última revuelta contra la autoridad de Roma en la Galia ocurrió aquí, y fue brutalmente castigado."

"Uxellodunum is an iron age hill fort, or oppidum, located above the river Dordogne near the modern-day French village of Vayrac in the Lot department. This stronghold lay within the lands of the Cadurci tribe. According to Aulus Hirtius in his addendum to Julius Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War, the last revolt against Rome's authority in Gaul occurred here, and was brutally punished. The Commentaries on the Gallic War describe Uxellodunum as being strongly fortified by its natural position, with a river dividing the valley below that almost surrounded the steep craggy mountain on which the citadel was built.The name apparently means "high fort"; "dun" is a Celtic word for fort which is to be found in many place-names."
