Paris History

The history of Paris goes back to as early as the III century BCE. The people who used to inhabit the territory of contemporary Paris were called Parisii, and that's where goes the etimology of the name of the city itself.

The history of Parisii stopped with the Roman assault in the year 52 BCE when Roman army broke into the Celtic settlement and destroyed it and then re-arranged the city to be their administrative center. Gradually the town was transferred to the Left Bank of the Seine. It was Roman conquerors who gave the city the name of Paris paying tribute to the defeated founders of the town in the year 360 AD after proclaiming the Roman prefect an Emperor.

In the course of the V century the authority of Roman rulers in Paris loosened Later on in 476 AD Paris survived another incineration, this time by the tribe of Franks, and from this time the history of France as a full-fledged Kingdom which was quickly developing and shortly after the whole city of Paris was turned into Christianity.
