The Cadurci were a Celtic people in southern Gaul, around today's Cahors. They are famous for the last great resistance to Caesar.
Even in 51 BC, after the fall of Alesia, the Cadurcan Lucterius with allies carried on the fight. They entrenched themselves in the hill fortress of Uxellodunum, almost impregnable on a rocky plateau.
Caesar took the fortress by cutting off its water. To stifle any further revolt, he had the surviving defenders' hands cut off – a deliberately set sign of terror at the end of the war.
"He had the hands cut off of all who had borne arms."after Hirtius, The Gallic War VIII (public domain, own translation)
The Cadurci stand for the bitter end of the Gallic fight for freedom. Continue with the Arverni and Bituriges.
