considered monstrous and, given its low profitability at the end of the
exhibition, to demolish the possibility was raised on several occasions.

wars and revolts
Apparently the first
settlers were a Celtic
tribe that settled in
the third century BC
in the current islands
of la Cite and
Saint-Louis: the Parisii
Annotations:
These islands provided them subsistence and a natural defense against external aggression. The life of this group, known by gold coins minted, came to an end when the Romans decided to go to Gaul and occupied their city, Lucoticia. Parisii resisted the Roman invasion, but were defeated. Next, the Romans rebuilt Lucoticia, calling it Lutetia. They built walls, a great palace (now Palais de Justice), a circus (Arenas) and baths (Cluny), extending to the left bank of the Seine, which suggests the importance of this city to the Romans.
