Historical background
TROYES (TRECAS)
(7th century)
The city of Troyes owes its name to the Gallic Tricasses tribe, whose capital was called Augustabona in Roman times. In 451, Roman Emperor Valentinian III, with the help of his auxiliaries Visigoths, Bretons, Burgundians, Lètes, Saxons and Franks defeated the Huns between Troyes and Châlons-en-Champagne, at a place called "Les champs Catalauniques". In 878, Pope John VIII convened a council there. Devastated shortly after by the Normans, the city rose from its ruins. It became in the Middle Ages, at the time of the Champagne fairs, a prosperous market known for its large annual fairs, in which weights and measures were defined, such as the troy weight still in force today. In the Merovingian period, the city struck the names of IVSTINVS, CHARIBERTVS REX, GENNVLFVS, AVDOLENVS, MVMMOLENVS, CONCESSVS, BERTERAMNVS, VVILLOBERTVS.
