3D recreation of the ancient city of Segóbriga

Segóbriga was an important city during Roman times, located in the current province of Cuenca, Spain. Its origins date back to the Celtiberians, a pre-Roman people who inhabited the region before the arrival of Rome. It was conquered by the Romans at the end of the 2nd century B.C., after the Celtiberian Wars, and became a strategic enclave in the Central Plateau.

In the 1st century A.D., Segóbriga was elevated to the status of “municipium” under the rule of Emperor Augustus. This status granted its inhabitants Roman citizenship. It also promoted urban and architectural development. During the 1st and 2nd centuries A.D., the city experienced significant growth, reaching its peak as an important administrative, commercial, and cultural center.
