Gallia Lugdunensis
Central Gaul, organized around Lugdunum's confluence of the Rhône and Saône. The city held the empire's western mint and hosted the annual assembly of Gaul's sixty tribal delegates at the altar of Roma and Augustus — the model every other province's imperial-cult center copied. A fire under Nero (65 CE) and Vitellian troops under the Year of Four Emperors (69) had both scarred the city; by 117 both were long rebuilt.
Formal division of Tres Galliae is usually dated to Marcus Agrippa's reorganization around 22 BCE, refined during Augustus's own visits to Gaul 16–13 BCE; the exact year is debated by historians.
