Abstract
Study of the origins and evolution of Segobriga, a Roman town in Celtiberia. It was a Celtiberian hill-fort of the VI century BC, documented by the material s found in layers of the Roman town. This hill-fort lasted till it became an oppidum after the destruction in the Sertorius War (c. 74 BC) of the nearby oppidum of Contrebia Carbica (capital of the Carpetania region). Augustus transformed Segobriga in municipium in the 15 BC, which undertook a monumental cityplanning policy. Thereafter, Segobriga constitutes one of the best examples of a Celtibero-Roman town, but keeping some Celtiberian traditions under its Roman structure.
