In 52BC, at the Battle of Gergovia, Julius Caesar attacked the town of Gergovia, but failed to penetrate the town's defences. The battle was fought between a Roman Republic army and Gallic forces led by Vercingetorix.

With the winter almost over, Caesar went in person to win back Aedui support and backing, and then detached a force of four legions under Titus Labienus to advance into Senones and Parisii territory, taking the remaining 6 legions, Aedui auxilia and Germanic cavalry to Gergovia himself.

The Legions were beaten back time and again and Caesar was forced into a fighting withdrawal and attempted to reorganize his troops. It was the first time the dominance of the Legions had been brought in to question and this defeat greatly boosted Gallic morale.
