Abstract

In Pliny’s Naturalis Historia Segobriga is mentioned as civitas stipendiaria attached to the conventus Carthaginiensis, alluding to its legal status before 15 BC. Prior to this, archaeology reveals the existence of an urban centre settled in Cabeza de Griego (Saelices, Cuenca), at least since the midfirst century BC. Epigraphic evidences testify that the city reached the status of municipium iuris Latini in Early Augustan period.
