Lutetia
Lutetia was the Gallo-Roman town on the Seine that grew into Paris, the chief town of the Gallic Parisii. Caesar held an assembly of Gaul there in 53 BCE, and in 52 BCE it was burned during the fighting against his legate Labienus. Under Rome it was rebuilt mainly on the Left Bank around the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, with a forum, baths and an amphitheatre, and by the 4th century it was called Paris.
