Gallic tribe

The Segovii (Gaulish: *Segouioi, 'the victorious, powerful') were a Gallic tribe dwelling in the Alpes Cottiae, around present-day Cesana Torinese and Montgenèvre, during the Iron Age.

Name
[edit]

They are attested as Segoviorum on the Arch of Susa.[1][2]

The ethnonym Segovii is a latinized form of Gaulish *Segouioi. It derives from the root sego-, meaning 'victory, force'. It is comparable with the feminine forms Segouia (Segovia) and Segauias (now Göfis).[3][2]

Geography
[edit]

The Segovii dwelled around the towns of Gaesao/Tyrium (modern Cesana Torinese) and Druantium (Montgenèvre; also named *Alpis Cottia and Summae Alpes).[4][5] The Barrington Atlas locates their territory south of the Belaci, north of the Brigianii and Quariates, and east of the Ucenni.[6] The settlement of Ad Fines (modern Fenils) may have been the border between the territories of the Segovii and Belaci.[4]

History
[edit]

They are mentioned on the Arch of Susa, erected by Cottius in 9–8 BC.[7]
