«La Gaule retrouvée» is the historical essay by Pierre Pinon, published by Gallimard in paperback (176 pages, in French).
The book explores how France imagined its Gallic ancestors: brave but barbaric heroes facing the Romans, cultured but colonizers. It surveys the work of historians, archaeologists and amateurs who rediscovered the vestiges of Gaul and consecrated Vercingetorix as the first national hero, shaping the narrative of its origins.
It is part of the Découvertes Gallimard collection (no. 103), an archaeology series, in its original 1991 edition.
For those interested in French history, archaeology and the construction of national identities.
