Studies on the history of the Civitas and diocese of Soissons in Roman and Merovingian times. Soissons enters written history under its Celtic name, later borrowed into Latin, Noviodunum, meaning "new hillfort", which was the capital of the Suessiones. At Roman contact, it was a town of the Suessiones, mentioned by Julius Caesar (B. G. Ii. 12). Caesar (B. C. 57) , after leaving the Axona (modern Aisne) , entered the territory of the Suessiones, and making one day's long march, reached Noviodunum, which was surrounded by a high wall and a broad ditch. The place surrendered to Caesar. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 327 pages .
