Commentary

There are two locations known as Segontia in Tarraconensis (Pl. 246639; Pl. 246640), as well as Segontia Paramika (Pl. 236657) and Segontia Lanca (see Trismegistos, TM Geo 26979). The closest and better documented city of Segontia (Siguenza: Pl. 246639) has been selected as the most likely point of origin.
