Vellaunodunum, Ancient Gallic oppidum in northern France
The fortified settlement of Vellaunodunum stands at coordinates 48.5 latitude and 2.5 longitude, marking a central position in the Senones territory.
Julius Caesar laid siege to Vellaunodunum in 52 BC, establishing a circumvallation within two days and demanding six hundred hostages for surrender.
The fortified settlement represents the military and social organization of the Senones tribe, demonstrating their defensive capabilities against Roman expansion.
The exact location of Vellaunodunum remains undetermined, with archaeological research continuing at several potential sites including Montargis and Château-Landon.
The settlement served as a strategic point during the Gallic Wars, positioned two days' march from the major center of Agedincum.
