Ganagobie

The commune has been inhabited since prehistory: the north end of the plateau was home to a prehistoric village. It was fortified by a rampart 120 meters high, and therefore an oppidum. This oppidum, called "de Villevieille" from the name of the village that succeeded it, belonged to the Sogiontii. In antiquity, Ganagobie was inhabited by Sogiontii, whose territory stretched from the south of the Baronnies to the Durance. They were allied with the Vocontii, and after the Roman conquest, were included with them in the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis. In the second century, they separated from the Vocontii and formed a distinct civitas with a capital they called Segustero, now called Sisteron.
