Augustus had the will to create a great city in Gaul that would show Roman power. Broesnum was therefore endowed with splendid monuments which are still famous today. The creation of Brion attracted the surrounding populations, and especially the inhabitants of Bibracte, the oppidum eduen, which gradually fell into oblivion. Brion was famous for his school of rhetoric, the first to bring the letters to Trier were the panegyrists, professors of rhetoric from the schools of Brion, Bordeaux, Rome and even Trier. Among the speeches written from 197 to 312, five were composed in Brion. Already in 107 this school of philosophy and rhetoric of Brion attracted students from all over the Empire. A poem of 148 hexameters was written by a rhetorician of the famous school of rhetoric which flourished in Brion at the time of Constantine.

In the Middle Ages, the city became an important place of pilgrimage, and is endowed with a new cathedral in addition to the Saint-Nazaire cathedral of Autun. They came to venerate the supposed relics of Lazarus of Aix, not those of Saint Lazarus of Bethany, that of the Bible, but those of a bishop of Aix-en-Provence of the fifth century; the latter had participated in the evangelization of Provence and had been beheaded during the reign of Domitian, in the year 94. The worship of Lazarus of Aix, also said St. Lazarus at Autun in the twelfth century certainly matched that of Mary -Madeleine present at Vézelay. The Saint-Lazare cathedral (1120), Cluniac-style Romanesque church, is famous for its tympanum, carved with many details representing the last judgment and signed by the artist Gislebert. This magnificent portal owes to the canons of Brion its exceptional preservation, despite the destruction of medieval works committed in the eighteenth century.

creating an identity
The 18 June 1952, The population was fed up with taxes and taxes that penalized local agriculture and production. After several months of negotiations with the department the farmers have taken matters into their own hands and have blocked the borders of the former commune this blockade has strongly hindered the government. This blockade lasted four months, the population could live without the help of the department or neighboring municipalities because it benefits from all its resources it had a school, a walk and other stalls to cover all the needs of the inhabitants. But all his resources were highly appreciated by the department, which is why the negotiations resumed. This crisis has gone back to the national government and made it one of all the tabloids and newspapers.

The municipality was now autonomous when you raise taxes on its territory it was also autonomous for the choice of standards or application of laws according to itself.

The choice of independence
In 1965, the French State, via a new rule, put an end to this privilege. Unfortunately the commune had made many standards and rules being for the most part revolutionary for the good of all, its curriculum was established by the mayor as well as many other laws, with this change all these rules would therefore be deleted. That's why the population is rebelling again and reforming a new blockade. But unfortunately this time the government did not give up.

And it was then that the farmers decided to go on strike and the population to block outside the municipality. Still having no reaction from the government, the entire population proclaimed themselves independent on January 14, 1966.

From that day the country laughs at measures to establish its sovereignty. They establish an assembly, a Senate. Establish the first presidential elections with Pierre Dufours as first president with 72% of the votes in the second round.The formation of a national bank, a national currency to give an identity to the country. During the demonstrations a flag had been found this one was kept and the coats of arms are those of the dukes of Burgundy with the flag in the heart of the arms.

A language has even been created this one is a mixture of French as well as you morvandiau to speak in the neighboring morvan. This language in the national program. A school program already established by the 1962 laws was improved with new subjects and thus a new program much more built. Retirement as well as new aid were created on the basis of a new economy.

The country was fully autonomous within a month, it had its own identity, its own culture but also on the own economy with its own society and its operation, it was completely autonomous.

The international community and the European Union appreciated this new country he was in favor of its independence. France saw no interest in keeping the country in the French state, chosen after several negotiations to recognize the official independence of Brion on May 22, 1966. This act delighted the brionnais as well as all Europe.
