There was not a capital of Gallia (Roman Gaul).
From its conquest in 50 BC to 314 AD Gallia was divided into three Roman provinces. Each had its own capital. The capital of Gallia Narbonensis (the south of France) was Narbo(Narbonne). To start with, the capital of Gallia Aquitania (the southwest of France up to the river Loire) was Mediolanum Santonum (Saintes). Later it was moved to Burdigala (Bordeaux). The capital of Gallia Lugdunensis (central France) was Lugdunum (Lyon). The capital of Gallia Belgica (Belgium, Northern France up to close to the river Seine, north-eastern France and the French speaking part of Switzerland) was Augusta Trevorum(Triers).
In 314 the emperor Diocletian subdivided Gallia into 13 new and smaller provinces. He also grouped them into two Dioceses. These were new administrative units which oversaw a group of the new provinces. The two dioceses were the Diocese of Galliae (northern and eastern France and French speaking Switzerland) whose capital was Augusta Trevorum, and the Diocese of Viennensis (southern France) whose capital was Vienna (Vienne). Later the Diocese of Viennensis was renamed Septem Provinciae (Seven Provinces).
Diocletian also included the provinces of Germania I (formerly Germania Superior) and Germania II (formerly Germania Inferior) into the Diocese of Galliae. Note that Galliae is the plural of Gallia and therefore the Diocese of Gallie meant the Diocese of the Gauls.

France was known by what name in ancient times?
France was called Gallia, which meant Gaul, because it was inhabited by the Gauls. Gallia also included Belgium ad Luxembourg. The First part which was conquered by the Romans was southern France, which they originally called Gallia Transalpina (Gaul the other side of the Alps) to distinguish it from Gallia Cisalpina, which was the part of northern Italy which was also inhabited by Gauls. When it was turned into a Roman province it was also called Gallia Narbonensis, after its provincial capital, Narbo (Narbonne). The Julius Caesar conquered the rest of Gaul and joined Gallia Cisalpina to Italy. The Transalpina and Cisalpina distinction became redundant.
