Sedullos (or Sedulius; died 52 BC) was a Gallic aristocrat who belonged to the Lemovices, a Celtic tribe that resided in the western Massif Central in ancient Gaul. During the Roman conquest of Gaul (58–50 BC), Sedullos led the Lemovices in revolt against the Roman occupiers in 52 BC as a part of Vercingetorix's revolt. After Vercingetorix's forces were encircled by Caesar at the Battle of Alesia, Sedullos would lead an enormous relief force along with Vercassivellaunos, Commius, and Viridomarus and Eporedorix in an attempt to break the siege. Despite their numerical superiority, the relief force failed to break through the Roman fortifications and Vercingetorix surrendered. Sedullos would be killed during the fighting. His death and courage are mentioned by Julius Caesar in his Commentarii de Bello Gallico.
