Segóbriga was an important Celtic and Roman city, and is today an impressive site located on a hill near the present town of Saelices [1]. Research has revealed remains of important buildings [1]. The name Segóbriga originates from two terms of the Celtiberian language [1]. The name's translation would be something approximating "Victory City" or "Triumphant Fortress" [1]. In the year 1888, a collective burial ground from the Bronze Age was found in a cave [1]. The cave is known as cueva de Segóbriga, near the cerro de Cabeza de Griego [1]. The tombs belonged to a celtiberian settlement [1]. Both human remains and common tools and supplies were discovered [1].
