The exhibition The Sequani Letters is the result of interdisciplinary research involving archaeologists, historians, epigraphists, and museum professionals. Drawing on the most recent scientific research, this catalog brings together the results of studies on the dynamics of occupation of the territory of the Sequani civitas from the conquest by Julius Caesar to the Diocletianic reforms.
The resumption of the epigraphic corpus and new readings of ancient texts allow us to better understand the administrative organization of this city of Upper Germania. At the same time, archaeology offers additional keys to understanding the functioning of the civitas . The accumulation of planimetric data allows for a new examination of the relationships between the agglomerations, the city capital of Vesontio and the large rural residences. This analysis, combined with research on sanctuaries and funerary practices, highlights a specific functioning, consistent with other cities of central-eastern Gaul, in which the elites drew their power from their immense landed wealth.
