From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Bibracte was fought between the Helvetii and six Roman legions under the command of Gaius Julius Caesar. It was the second major battle of the Gallic Wars.
After following the migration of Helvetii and defeating them, Caesar, around 20 June, moved towards Bibracte, to obtain the supplies promised by his allies, the Aedui. The Helvetii took this occasion to turn and attack Caesar. The battle, started at noon, and despite the presence of the Gallic allies, ended with the defeat of the Helvetii during the night.
