Dibio

DIBIO (Eth. Dibionensis: Dijon) appears to have been in the territory of the Lingones, a people of Gallia Celtica; for the diocese of Dijon was a part of the diocese of Langres, and was only separated from it in 1721. Dibio is only known as a town of the Roman period from two inscriptions found at the place, which speak of the workers in iron there, Fabri ferrarii Dibionenses,o r Dibione consistentes.T he place is described by Gregorius of Tours in the sixth century. Many Roman remains have been found there. Dijon is in the departement de la Côte d'Or.
