The siege of Alesia was the last major battle between the Gauls underVercingetorix and the Romans underJulius Caesar.Danielle Porte, a professor at theSorbonne, has argued for an alternative theory that a site in Chaux-des-Crotenay better fits the historical description. However, the consensus of the scientific community is that the siege of Alesia happened in what is today the commune ofAlise-Sainte-Reine, based on a considerable amount of archaeological and historical research.[5]
